Did Bo Jackson ever play in Alex Box Stadium?

He did play at The Box, but I don't remember which year. I want to say that he played Right Field, but my memory isn't the best. Back then, LSU regularly hosted the SEC indoor track championships, and Bo ran the 60 meters. He was to this day the best athlete that I've ever seen.

He played center and gunned someone at the plate from like the 405 sign in center. Best damn throw I've ever seen. Ball was never higher than 7 ft off the ground. The LSU player that was hosed just sat there bewildered when he was called out

He jacked one out that landed on the roof of
the student housing behind left field.... The ball was still rising as it cleared the fence

I wasn't talking to you, but he didn't play baseball in 1984 and played left field ..

Know how I know you like to exaggerate?

I don't remember the year, but I was going to say either '84 or '85. I was a student from '81 to '85 and back then you just showed your student id at any LSU sporting event and you got in. The SEC series were 3 games, but they were a single 9 inning game and a 7 inning double header. The best college player that I saw during that time was Dave Magadan from Alabama, but I couldn't tell you which year he played at The Box either.

I'm sure he took off his glove and caught it bare-handed then threw it home in one motion without changing to his throwing arm.

It absolutely did happen...I don't think no was playing center, rather the cf dove to make a play and he was backing it up from lf. He picked up the ball from the warni g track in front of the 405 sign an hosed the runner... It was either Jeff rebolet or jack voight that he threw out. I was sitting in the left field bleachers by the visitors bull pen

I can believe the threw someone out at home, sure. But the details you gave are laughable.

I think you mean he was playing LF for the Royals, and he threw out Harold Reynolds from the left field track. I can't speak to the height of the throw, but yeah, Reynolds looked pretty bewildered after it happened.
