Default Bo Jackson

One powerful dude.

Summer of 1987, on the spur of the moment we decided to go to a night game at Yankee Stadium (KC was the visiting team).

The only tickets available at the Ticket booth were for upper deck RF seats. So, that is were we sat.

In the 7th inning, Bo Jax came to bat. We were approx. 400 feet from homeplate, and we heard a crack of the bat that was unreal.
Then we realized that the ball was coming straight at us.

None of us dared to try and catch it. But, were hoping to get it when it hit the vacant sets near us. Well the ball did hit the nearby seats
with such intensity that it rebounded back into the outfield.

And, need I remind you that Bo was a righthanded batter.
