Here’s a Vincent (Bo) Edward Jackson Scouting Report from 1985
Have to give a Hardball Talk hat tip on this one. We didn’t know the scout who had the pleasure of writing this report in 1985, but again we could read this stuff all day long.
It actually got a mention on Colin Cowherd’s radio show today, and that guy never talks baseball.
Bo Jackson was a rare talent. His hit tool was only a ’4′, which was actually pretty accurate. Everything...

Bo Jackson's 1984 scouting report surfaces
Courtesy of reddit we are able to see a pretty phenomenal scouting report from 1984 on the great Bo Jackson. The one thing that stood out to me throughout all of the comments is the fact that someone actually gave Bo a 7 on running speed!

Bo Jackson believes Buccaneers tried to sabotage his baseball career
Bo Jackson was drafted as the No. 1 overall pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 1986 NFL draft, but he turned them down and decided to pursue a career in professional baseball. It was always believed that Jackson, who told the Bucs not to draft him, did not want to go to Tampa Bay because of all the negative things he had heard about the organization. But, as I learned on Saturday...
