Good thread, Lyle.

I'd say Bo Jackson for me. That rare individual that can play not one, but TWO professional sports at a high level. He could've been one of the greatest running backs in the NFL..... and he was a bonafide major league baseball star.

Unfortunately his career was cut short by that freak injury playing football. An injury that doctors said only became that severe because of Bo's own strength in trying to run through a tackle where others would've just gone down.

I saw a documentary on him and some of the plays he made in both sports make up a long highlight reel of his careers.
