Need a Sox fix? Every Thursday we are paying tribute to White Sox standouts of the past, spotlighting a different letter of the alphabet each week.
Today we focus on six popular Sox players whose last names begin with the letter J — Bo Jackson, Darrin Jackson, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Bobby Jenks, Lamar Johnson and Lance Johnson.
Bo Jackson, OF, White Sox (1991, 1993), Royals, Angels
Vincent Edward “Bo” Jackson was a superlative athlete — perhaps the greatest in U.S. history.
An eight-year major leaguer, four-year NFL standout, the only athlete to be named both an MLB All-Star (Royals) and Pro Bowl performer (Raiders) plus being awarded the 1985 Heisman Trophy (Auburn), Bo is certainly prominent in that conversation.
