One of the greatest athletes in the history of sports is getting immortalized in yet another Hall of Fame. And just like the others before, it is absolutely deserved.

Baseball and football legend Bo Jackson has been elected to the Royals Hall of Fame by the Royals Hall of Fame Veterans Committee, the team announced Wednesday. He’ll be inducted in an on-field ceremony on June 29 at Kauffman Stadium.

“I was floored when I heard about it,” Jackson said. “The thing with me is that when I think about back when I played with Kansas City, it’s not about the things that I did, per se, on the field. It’s the camaraderie. It’s the friendships and relationships I made for that time that I was there. I still have close friendships and ties with most of the guys.”

After being drafted in the fourth round of the 1986 MLB Draft, Jackson played five of his eight seasons in the league with Kansas City.

His athleticism was second-to-none. It included scaling a wall to track down a fly ball, using his arm to regularly throw out runners and hitting home runs into the next century with his powerful swing. Occasionally, if he became frustrated enough, he broke bats over his knee with little resistance.

Jackson put on a show throughout his career. He made his debut Sept. 2, 1986, and 12 days later hit his first home run. At the time, the 475-foot moon shot was the longest ever hit at Royals Stadium.

In 1989, Jackson received his first All-Star nod. In his first at-bat of the All-Star Game, he hit a home run and was later named All-Star MVP. In the 1989 season, he finished the season as the Royals’ home run leader, with a career-high 32 home runs. He then went back-to-back seasons leading Kansas City in homers, hitting 28 homers in 1990.

The running back from Auburn and future College Football Hall of Famer played with the Royals until 1990, He then spent two seasons with the Chicago White Sox in 1991 and 1993 before finishing his baseball career with the then California Angels in 1994.

Jackson was placed on the ballot by the Royals Hall of Fame Executive Board. The voting committee consisted of 16 voting members selected by the board, comprised of Royals Hall of Fame Members, Royals Club Executives and media members.

Candidates must be named on at least 75% of all ballots cast to be elected.
