Bo Jackson Is Being Accused Of Making Up Legendary Story

Bo Jackson shared an incredible story during last night's exhibition between the Los Angeles Angels and Kansas City Royals. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be true...
quote:While that story only adds to the legend of Bo Jackson, it turns out there are a lot of flaws with it. Best-selling author Jeff Pearlman revealed that Jackson didn't actually play in a game on July 21, 1990.
"I took strike three right down the pipe, and he called me out," Jackson said. "I turned around and gave him a few choice words and he said, 'You're outta here.' I said, 'Thank you.' I went to the locker room - didn't even shower. I put my clothes on, got in my Corvette and went to the hospital."
Jackson then said that was the only ejection of his career.
"Blame it on my daughter. The things we do for our women."

"Bo's daughter Morgan was born on July 21, 1990. Bo says, on that day, he was deliberately tossed from the Royals game against Milwaukee. So, here's the box from that afternoon's Royals game," Pearlman wrote. "You'll notice they didn't play Milwaukee, and that Bo wasn't in the lineup. And maybe you're thinking, 'See! He got thrown out.' Well, nope. Three days earlier, Jackson hurt his shoulder while trying to snare a Deion Sanders line drive at Yankee Stadium."
