Bo Jackson tried getting rid of 10-month-long hiccups with interesting cure

During an appearance on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning, former MLB and NFL player Bo Jackson said he's had the hiccups since July 2022. Jackson further detailed some of the methods he's tried using to get the ailment under control.

"I’m getting a medical procedure done the end of this week, I think, to try to remedy it. I’m busy at the hospital sitting up with the doctors poking me, shining lights down my throat, probing me every way they can to find out why I’ve got these hiccups," the one-time MLB All-Star and one-time Pro Bowler said. "I have done everything -- scare me, drink water upside down, smell the a** of a porcupine, it doesn't work."

Jackson was first selected by the New York Yankees in the second round of the 1982 MLB June Amateur Draft out of McAdory High School at 19 years old, before being taken in the 20th round by the California Angels in 1985 out of Auburn University. 

The now-60-year-old was chosen in the fourth round of the 1986 event by the Kansas City Royals before making his MLB debut in September of that year.

Jackson was also selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the first overall pick in the 1986 NFL Draft and as a seventh-round pick by the Los Angeles Raiders in 1987, before finishing as the runner-up in the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year voting that season.

Jackson played six MLB seasons from 1986 to 1991, while remarkably, also playing four NFL seasons from 1987 to 1990 before retiring from football. 

Jackson had his best season on the diamond in 1989, when he had career highs in home runs (32), RBIs (105), runs scored (86) and hits (132) among other categories while adding 26 steals, making the AL All-Star team and finishing 10th in the league's MVP voting.

During his four-year football career (spent entirely with the Raiders), he rushed for 2,782 yards and 16 touchdowns and had the longest rushing attempt in the league in three separate seasons (from 91, 92 and 88 yards out). Jackson made his lone Pro Bowl during the 1990 campaign.

After spending 1992 off the field entirely due to a hip injury, Jackson finished his professional sports career with one final season with the Chicago White Sox in 1993 and by playing in 75 games with the Angels in 1994.

Evidently, "Bo Knows" lots of things, but one thing he hasn't discovered yet is how to get rid of his hiccups.
