Not by much.

Why don't you compare RBIs and HRs

And slugging. 474 > 392. Bo could hit for power, and Deion couldn't,

I had no idea Jackson hung around the Bigs for 8 years. Was he with the royals the whole time?

No. He went to the White Sox after the injury. He was never the same player and really, he was only a regular for four years. He was always a rough player and never polished his edges, but man... his raw talent was staggering. One of the most exciting players I ever saw.

Bo was a running back...Deion could not handle all of the hits being put on him if he were a running back..you can stay in the league longer as DB because you aren't taking the brutal hits like a RB on every play. Bo is the obvious answer here.

Deion also lasted by never tackling anyone

Deion Sanders OPS+ 89
Bo Jackson OPS+ 112

It's not even that close. How many all-star games did Deion make playing baseball? Besides stolen bases, how many categories did he finish in the top 10 at? Bo >>>> Deion.

The OP is biased....Let's ask Brian Bosworth his professional opinion.

Bo and its not even close. Deon wasn't even that good of a baseball player.

Bo in 1989 alone he hit 30 hrs 100 RBI
In 11 football games he had 995 yards rushing. That's a great year.

Deon couldn't do anything except hold Bo jock strap.

Bo would have made the hof in both sports. And could've been amongst the best of all time in either sport if he had stuck with one. Cant make an argument about Deion being one of the best of all time in baseball

I remember him throwing a rope from the left field corner to nail a guy at the plate. Greatest throw I've ever seen.
