My favorite non-Steeler player when I was a kid. I was a huge fan of his. Damn shame his career was cut so short. What an amazing athlete.

I wonder with even todays medical advancements if a hip can be fixed. Could be wrong but the hip seems even more important than a knee.

Remember when he ran over The Boz on MNF? One of the greatest runs in NFL history.

His highlights are one of a kind.

I've never seen an athlete that made you shake your head in awe more than Bo.

* running 3 steps of the wall instead of running into it

* threw out a runner at home tagging from 3rd from the LF warning track

*1st all-star game swing....450 ft

....and my favorite I could watch 100 times in a row, his 90 yard run on MNF where he ran away from everyone (ridiculously) and down the tunnel.

Absolutely! Taking away a highlight loaded two sport all-star in his prime....

They said this injury would end his sports career and he wouldn't be able to do any type of running....and one of his first at bats back with his replacement hip he had an infield single.
