Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders combined for one of the wildest highlights in baseball history. With Mel Stottlemyre Jr. on the mound, Deion ripped a ball into right-center. Bo, tracking from left-center, launched into a full Superman dive but missed. The ball rolled to the wall, and Deion turned on the jets. He rounded third hard, running through a stop sign. The throw beat him to the plate, but the catcher couldn’t hang on. After a wild collision, they wrestled for the ball. Deion popped up with a fist pump, safe at home.
Bo’s effort was all-out. He laid out like few ever do, slamming into the turf at full speed. The Yankees dugout went wild. The replay showed how close it was — if the catcher holds on, Deion’s out. But he didn’t, and the run counted. Bo ended up leaving the game after already hitting three home runs. He might’ve had a shot at four. The moment capped off a crazy mix of elite speed, hustle, and raw talent from two of the best athletes ever to play the game.
