Bo Jackson Quotations

I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.

I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.

So you have to be more mentally focused in baseball.

I hate to blow my own horn, but I gave a lot of people fits.

I'll never worry about not being successful. I'll just take it one day at a time, one season at a time. And play as hard as I can.

It occurred to me in my junior year of high school. I got my first letter from a big college. I still have that letter to this day - a letter from Indiana.

If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of old teammates.

I was always the fastest and strongest kid in my school so events like the 100 meter and discus throwing attracted me. I could throw the discus for great distance s without the proper spin and throw technique.

So, I got a lot of recruitment letters from track.

You have a lot of people on the run and really don't have time to sit down and eat a balanced meal.
