Bo Jackson is 56 years old now, and Father Time keeps on keeping on even when it comes to one of the greatest athletes who ever walked the earth. So, no, Bo doesn’t break baseball bats over his knee anymore.
“I pulled a muscle lifting a toilet seat this morning,” he said with a smile on Friday at Royals FanFest Bartle Hall. “I’m not trying to break any bats. No. No.”
For that matter, as a self-described “horrible spectator,” Jackson doesn’t even watch baseball or football anymore. So he hasn’t been witness to the most exhilarating, promising phenomenon to play for a local franchise since he did from 1986-1990.
