BO KNOWS BO - Bo Jackson
An autobiography written in 1991.
The BUCPOWER.COM review
This one is all about the almost Buc, and covers his time as a Pro Bowler in both football and baseball, plus his well-documented injury problems later in his career.
The chapter concerning his non-signing with the Bucs is the most interesting one, and one can fully understand why he spurned Tampa Bay for the lure of the baseball diamond in 1986.
Hugh Culverhouse is never going to be regarded as one of the NFL's best-ever owners, and Bo lets you know his experiences of him.
Other reviews
In the improbable event that anyone does not know, Bo Jackson plays baseball for the Kansas City Royals and football for the Oakland Raiders, and appears in commercials for sneakers. Here, writing with Schaap ( Instant Replay ), he tells of his rise from grinding poverty as one of 10 children in a fatherless Alabama family; he was often hungry and given to extorting money from schoolmates.
Athletics were Jackson's salvation: he starred in track and field in high school, then in football at Alabama's Auburn University, where he won the prestigious Heisman trophy. His story is heartwarming, a role model for young people. Publishers' Weekly
