I never forget the time I was standing in line waiting to make a horse bet at Hollywood Park, Bo busted one for a TD, the place erupted so loud, was incredible! And the time he threw out Harold Reynolds at the plate...from the warning track...on the fly, no hop! Most amazing throw I have ever seen!

People also forget his numbers improved across the board every year in baseball until he got hurt. Power up, Avg up, Walks up, Strikeouts down 5 years in a row.
