Bo knows throws! Take a look at some of Bo Jackson's best outfield throws 

That is the all time greatest throw. I have watched baseball over forty years. Never seen a throw like that. Most ridiculous fing throw. I have ever seen. Nobody behind that. Catch the bounce bare handed. Turn and rifle a perfect strike to home freaking plate. The throw was perfect. I mean that was not human. Reynolds was fast. Had a great jump. Just wow. Never seen anything like that.

It would have been nice to run it in this video😢😢😢

Did Jackson even get a chance to set his feet on that throw?

@@PhilMoskowitz I don't think he did, but then again, that guy was just on another plain of athletic existence.

@@davidcook680I agree 💯. The list for greatest outfield throws starts and ends with that one. Especially when you add in the layers that Harold Reynolds (who had won a stolen base title or two) was running on the pitch, and had he scored, the game was over. Bo Jackson literally saved the game with that colossal throw, and the Royals ended up winning that game an extra innings.

Thank you!! Been saying it for years...Bo the the athlete was the best. Bo the person was even better!!!

*Tecmo Super Bowl

Mine too , the best ever 👍

Unless I have Ronnie Lott and the 49ers!!!

Him and Walter Peyton

Bro Jackson there will never be another no lol he was my heroe growing up Everything was bo Jackson🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

and there's no good replay!

We moved to KC in ‘90. I’m so glad I got to see him play.

And threw the guy out at home with a pinpoint throw, and Reynolds was not a slowpoke by any stretch of the imagination.

Making sense is hard

Thats awesome. We'll never see another duel sport athlete again like that

Absolutely insane. What's also insane is how it's all arm alot of the time. Flat-footed

And to keep that ball near the end to close to 85mph traveling that far really is phenomenal. Many people can throw 85mph, but for about 100 feet. This guy tripled that. Not to mention the accuracy.

Accounting for wind resistance, at initial release, the ball may have been traveling at over 100 mph when it left his hand. Would 85 mph be an average or mean velocity?

@@Bryan_Lion you're correct. Funny because I was watching videos on outrfield throws and their velocity the other day and realized I didn't consider that they measure it from the ball releasing the hand. The 85 mph would be the rough mean velocity and I felt that was a little on the conservative side. I'm guessing that if you measured from the release of the hand it was probably in the 104-108 mph range.

Also, its not shown well in video but Harold Reynolds said he jumped or just kind of spun to throw it. He didn't plant his feet. He didn't get a crow hop etc. Think about how strong you would have to be to do that. Shortstops do that kind of play and struggle to get any velocity on it from the apron.

Bob Boone was a Legend with the 1980 Phillies

I noticed that too. Only flaw is it's post injury Bo.

Look at the difference in the size of their forearms. Raines and Burke look like stickmen.

I loved that outfield trio. I was a Harold Baines fan growing up..🤟

Robin Ventura at 3rd.

No it’s not

@@akosiryan9761 ??

85 mph ball that far? Yeah its definitely one of them

​@@DynomyteDewd91then what is little dick troll?

Vince carter jumping over that 7footer has entered the chat…

Baseball is full of 300+ foot throws. It is not something only Bo Jackson could do.

@@bauerj3398 You missed the point. The throw was a strike thrown from the warning track in left field to home plate without a moment of hesitation.

@@scottjackson638 I am addressing the ludicrous statement that it was the 'best throw of all time', and even more ludicrous that only Jackson would attempt it. The simple fact that players make 300 foot throws in the majors all the time, bypassing the cut-off, means that statement is nonsensical. Simply put, it was a great throw, but any suggestion that Jackson was the only one capable and/or willing to do it, is nonsense.

@@bauerj3398 Notice that the ball caromed off the wall, and Bo turned and fired flat-footed with no crow hop or running start. Bo released the ball from just inside the warning track, 310' away about the time Harold Reynolds rounded third base. Royals catcher Bob Boone was already walking off the field when he realized Bo was going to try to make the throw. The throw reached Boone in the air, in the strike zone, who tagged out Reynolds. Reynolds later said that it was the "greatest throw in the world." Others have made the exact same claim, including a number of major league players and coaches. Notice that announcer made the statement "he can't do it" because it looked impossible to make the throw. The coaches protested after the play because making the throw seemed impossible. The fans went nuts because the throw seemed impossible. The play lives in history among baseball fans because the throw seems impossible. In interviews, this throw has been mentioned repeatedly because it seemed impossible. Again, I never said that only Bo was able to make that throw. Further, I never said that only Bo would attempt it. But of course, Bo did try to make the throw and he succeeded. Your aggression doesn't make you right, it just makes you aggressive.

@@scottjackson638 First of all, he most definitely stepped into the throw, as he gathered the ball at the seam of the warning track and released the ball a fall stride onto the outfield 'grass'. So, are you sincerely so ignorant of the game as to pretend Bo Jackson is the only person who can throw a baseball 310 feet? Oh wait, you are are also saying he is the only one would even try it.

You are exactly right. His form is not great at all. He does not seem to put his legs into the throw. All arm. Just think if he drove with his legs! Amazing.

@@TT-wb3ke You are 100% correct! Wilt, Jim Thorpe, MJ, Dion, etc. none had Bo's overall elite athletic qualifications of speed, strength, vertical, agility, power, and the ability to be an All-Star in TWO different major sports. You are not supposed to throw out a speedy runner from the warning track on the fly to home plate, hit a home run with basically one hand because the ump won't grant you a timeout, run 90 yard TD's in the NFL, and make the other players look like they were in high school. And don't forget...he had NO football training camp or pre-season games, just stepped on the damn field and dominated!

He was a great football player, but he wouldn't have been a HOF baseball player. He simply didn't get on base enough (.308 on base % as a Royal, .309 for his career).

He had precisely 0% chance of making the HOF in baseball. Quit looking at his highlights, and look at how he actually perofrmed. He was over 28 years old and over 2000 plate appearances into his career when injured, and his resume was mediocre.

Yup! They also had the best pitcher in the AL that yr with Black Jack McDowell. If the league didn’t go on strike in 94, white Sox would’ve won the World Series.

The accuracy though is the incredible thing , right on point. Extraordinary talent.

probably more like 105

Still I recognize Wades stance at the plate. Will Clark, Cal, Ruben, Jose, good times man. Now my cards arent worth a damn but probably wouldnt sell them.

Great tools and would have gone to the HoF as a football player if he had not gotten injured, but didn't get on base enough to be a great baseball player. Jim Brown is the best RB in football history and the best lacrosse player ever. Wilt Chamberlin was one of the best basketball players ever and an amazing track performer.

No

Lmao I was saying the same thing lol he clearly tagged him😂

Well, the SOB was clearly an idiot.

there are a lot more players than that with better or at least as good of arms as Bo Jackson.

NO FUCKING DOUBT EASILY!!!!!!!

Arguably yesssss

Jim Thorpe was the best ever. played football and won the decathlon and triathlon in the olympics, in the same olympics.

@Multiple Skills Deion wasn't Bo, but he's in the conversation for 2nd best athlete ever. He was a better baseball player than he gets credit for, too.

@@jamescook6564 I agree with your conclusion, but the evidence is incorrect. Thorpe won the decathlon and pentathlon at the 1912 Olympics, then played professional baseball, football, and basketball.

That's hilarious. Nice one.

Mines!!!!! #1 BO JACKSON #2 MICHAEL JORDAN #3 JOE MONTANA #4 BARRY SANDERS #5 JERRY RICE #6 SIXTH MAN WALTER PAYTON Topp THAT' LOL!!!!!!

@@jessieurgea9899 Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders in the back field.

Michael Jordon not making your top three completely invalidates your opinion.

@@jessieurgea9899 Jim Thorpe wasn't bad.

That isn't your favorite athlete list. I disagree with it

The announcers saying “The Royals got lucky” annoys me every time.

I'm pretty sure that's Dave Niehaus on Bo throwing out Harorld Reynolds.

@@williamwhalen29 no, the current Royals radio and TV announcer is Ryan Lefebvre, his father was the Mariners manager arguing the call.

I understand, but this game was in 1989. His son would have been 18.

Reynolds led the Mariners in stolen bases that season so he's not slow.

Because the dweeb who made this video wasted a whole minute and a half on the first throw and its aftermath.

How to hit the cut-off man.

"Bo. You don't know Diddley." Bo Diddley

That was my fave, also because A-Hole hit the can of corn fly ball.

So who else besides you have made those same three throws?

@@clarencewashington3910 I’ve only made one. I wasn’t talking down on his career though

@@clarencewashington3910 There are loads of players who have made more great plays and throws than Jackson. He did not have the best arm in history. And he was a below average defender.

That is because he was a below average defensive player but casuals fall in love with him for the highlights.
