On July 17, 1990 two sport athletes Bo Jackson (Kansas City Royals) and Deion Sanders (New York Yankees) faced off. Both players showed off their talents.
Bo Jackson - The Royals center fielder knocked out homers in the first, third and fifth innings. He was playing in his own personal home run derby and drove in a monstrous seven runs.
Deion Sanders - Then, Deion stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the sixth. He ripped it to center field. Jackson laid out for a diving catch but missed it. If you thought Sanders had speed on the gridiron, it's amplified on the base path.
He zipped around the bases, losing his helmet as he rounded third. The Royals recovered enough to have a chance for the out at home plate. Catcher Mike McFarlane mishandled the throw, Sanders trucked him but missed the plate. They each scrambled. The umpire calls Sanders safe. He emerges victorious.
