Then, there’s Bo Jackson. No two-sport athlete has been more recognizable than Bo. If I say…Bo Jackson baseball, chances are, you’ll picture him running up and then across the outfield wall like a superhero. Or maybe the All-Star game home run or one of the countless bat-breaks over his knee or head.

And football? The Brian Bosworth piggyback ride, the speed-bursting scamper against the Bengals, or back to the Seahawks, where he just kept on trucking through the tunnel.

The gun-slinging post-TD celebration?

Whatever images you see, none of the others on this list have that type of awe-inducing capability (unless you’re Denny Neagle and reading this.)
