I've always played with kids that were five, six, seven years older than me.
Bo Jackson
I struck out with two men on base. I was so angry, so frustrated, I turned and without even thinking about it, snapped my bat over my thigh. The bat split right in half. Afterward, reporters asked me if it was the first time I'd ever broken a bat over my thigh. I broke an aluminum bat over my knee in college, I said. (I was just kidding).
Bo Jackson
I took a lot of things for granted - especially how I treated my body.
Bo Jackson
My confidence and drive to go play came when I realized how gifted I was at such a young age and how much bigger my build was than the kids my age.
