Bo is the only athlete named to the Pro Bowl and the MLB All-Star game in the same year.

He was the MVP in that All-Star game hitting a leadoff homer in the 1st inning.

Deion was at best a journeyman baseball player.

Bo = the GOAT

A journeyman baseball player who had a higher batting average and on base percentage than Bo.

Over 162 game average, Deion was a 70 SB guy (he only played just over half a season every year because of football).

Bo was a very good baseball player. But there are hundreds of baseball players who played in 1 All Star game. Are you going to start a thread for them, too?

Wasn't Bo also a career backup in Oakland?

How many starts did he get over Marcus Allen? Not many from what I remember.

Not a knock on Bo, but I'm pretty sure he was voted in the MLB all-star game by the fans.

Bob Gibson was an excellent BBall player at Creighton, a Globe trotter, and One of the greatest Pitchers in MLB history.

Jim Brown was an All American Lacrosse player, good basketball player, and greatest Rb in history of NFL. etc

I would put both of them ahead of Sanders
