One of the few things Bo didn't know.

I cant argue with that. Do you think Puig might be the next Bo?

Hard to say this early on. We'll see if he can carry even half of this into another season.
Even still, it's been going on long enough to be well past "fluke" status, but he has cooled off a little bit as of late.

I don't follow baseball much now(I don't care about PEDs: you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'), but I'm thinking along the lines of players like Deion Sanders(MLB/NFL), and to a lesser extent, Danny Ainge(MLB/NBA) - 2 sport players. All 3 were successful athletes in their sports.
Deion was the full package. Loved the spotlight, wasn't afraid to work hard, super charismatic, Hall of Famer. But Bo - Bo was a freak. Not as charismatic(but still an advertizing star to catch) but he was just an athletic monster. He was GREAT at everything he did(see: ONLY player to me an All-Star in 2 sports, won the Heisman in college). Personally, I had more fun watching him play football(full disclosure, my 3 favorite RBs to watch are Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, and Bo). Even when his hip injury put him out, he focused on MLB and continued to destroy the ball in the 90s. I was fortunate enough to see him play when he was in Chicago even tho his amazing speed had left by then.
