Bo Jackson played just two seasons for the Chicago White Sox, but as of Thursday the famed two-sport star has his first ever bobblehead doll in the Second City and it is epic to say the least.
While football fans may remember Jackson for his insane speed as a running back, baseball fans know him as a man of incredible strength and a whole lot of frustration at the plate. That frustration usually ended with him finding ways to punish the bat.
Nothing is more famous than his ability to break a full wood bat over his upper leg in anger, and what better way to honor his time with the White Sox than to have a bobblehead featuring him breaking a bat?
That’s exactly what the Southsiders did on Thursday night.
First ever Bo Jackson bobblehead? YES.https://t.co/Ob14tacC7mhttps://t.co/IhuaD5X0ZL

Jackson’s time in a White Sox uniform was nothing but frustrating for all involved, which may explain the lack of honor to date. He batted just .225 with three home runs and 14 RBI’s in 1991, while following that up with a 1993 season where he hit a meager .232 but had 16 home runs with 45 RBI’s.
While most bobblehead dolls are bland and don’t really represent the person they are supposed to all that well, the White Sox completely got this one right.
Perhaps the best part? You can actually own one of these babies with all proceeds going to honor the team’s charity efforts.
