This biography is about a man named Bo Jackson that played college football and baseball. He played sports all of his life. He was accepted at Auburn University to play football and baseball. He chose to play college football and baseball rather than play MLB baseball for the Yankees.

Bo Jackson was tough, fast, big, and strong. His senior year of college was his best year ever. During his last game another player smashed into his ribs and broke them in three places. No one thought they would see Bo play again that day. They were in for a suprise. Bo Jackson came back in the 3rd quarter to gain 134 yards that day with broken ribs!

After that game, he had a choice. He could play for the Raiders in football or play for the Royals in baseball. Which one did he choose? To find out, read the book.
