Detroit Tigers' Casey Mize gets shoutout from one of the greatest athletes of all time

Bo Jackson is paying attention to the Detroit Tigers.

Recognized as one of the greatest athletes of all time, Jackson gave right-handed pitcher Casey Mize a shoutout ahead of his MLB debut Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.

"Congrats on the call up @Casey_Mize and good luck in your MLB debut! #WarDamnEagle," Jackson wrote on Twitter.

Jackson, 57, played for the White Sox in 1991 and 1993 as part of an eight-year MLB career to go with the four years he played in the NFL (1987-90).
