When Bo throws, the catcher is the cutoff man

[thefpvlife]

Bo's hip injury robbed us of a decade of highlight reels. What a legend.

[Alan]

If he was correctly called OUT, the Royals didn't "get a break."

[ssviking]

The throw was incredible and the sweep tag was perfect.

[jhammr]

Greatest throw in the history of baseball and we couldn't even get it on camera

[jacobh]

I was at the game. Sitting in the nearly empty left field talking with Bo right before this play. Still can’t believe I was there for that play. Just prior, Bo was spinning his glove on his finger. What an awesome athlete!!

[cardphins]

To this Day, I still say Vincent "Bo" Jackson was the best ATHLETE I have ever seen with these two eyes. The man was just incredible!

[crashstitches]

LMFAO "Royals get a break..."
Nah, son. Bo hosed the man down like it was first night in Shawshank.

[nickcurran]

I love how the announcer goes on and on about the umpire being out of position and the Royals catching a break, and then he finally says, "I think they had him too." Hahahaha

[onedecimaleight]

The funniest part about this is right after the game Reynolds sat and watched the tape of this game and kept watching this exact play over and over and over and said....hes not supposed to be able to do that. lol.

[driverM]

It was a real athletic tragedy that he got hurt. Man, I loved watching Bo play both sports.

[brettevans]

One of the best throws in baseball history, accompanied by some of the worst color commentary in baseball history.

[janys]

In the 4 decades of baseball I've watched, I've never seen coaches so confused by the play they had witnessed. Truly the single most amazing play ever. Imagine throwing a baseball from the back of a football goal line, and hitting the goal post on the other end of the field, with the fastest guy in the league only having to run 30 yards. Its beyond explanation

[emanuelmota]

Not only the throw, but also perfect play by the catcher.

[jeffg]

“The Royals get a break...”

Sure did. They got to sign Bo Jackson.

[TheVCRTimeMachine]

My favorite part is the announcer ignoring the replay that shows he was clearly out while he continues to complain that the umpire was out of position.

[wunnaaaaa]

my boy Harold was fast af too, Bo was a legend

[matthewhohenbery]

Met him at a golf course I worked at outside Chicago about 10 years ago. He was as nice as he is a badass athlete, Bo knows!!

[mikemccormick]

I like how Bo is adjusting himself while the Seattle coaches are arguing with the ump!🤣

[thegarbagevideoplace]

Imagine seeing that throw and being more interested in the umpires
