The mid to late 1980’s were an unusual time in baseball with the arrival of two-sport stars Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders. I’ve read a few things recently stating that Brian Jordan should be considered the best two-sport star of that era, and while I’ll be the first to say that Brian Jordan’s baseball career – 1,456 games, 184 home runs, 821 RBI, career batting average of .282 and almost 33 WAR – is better than Bo or Deion, the fact remains that Jordan accumulated his baseball numbers AFTER he gave up football. Bo and Prime were playing both sports, and at a high level, at the same time.
