Vincent Edward "Bo" Jackson (born November 30, 1962) is an American former baseball and football player. He is the only athlete to be named an All-Star in two major sports. While at Auburn University, Jackson won the 1985 Heisman Trophy, annually awarded to the most outstanding collegiate football player in the United States. In 1989 and 1990, Jackson's name became known beyond just sports fans through the "Bo Knows" advertising campaign, a series of advertisements by Nike, starring Jackson alongside Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician Bo Diddley, promoting a cross-training athletic shoe named for Jackson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://espn.go.com/classic/biography/s/Jackson_Bo.html )〕 After a 1991 hip injury on the field ended his football career, Jackson focused on baseball, and expanded into other pursuits, including the completion of his Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Child Development at Auburn. In addition, Jackson appeared in small roles as an actor, in TV shows such as ''The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air''〔(Bo Jackson on ‘''The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air''’ )〕 and ''Married... with Children'',〔(Bo Jackson (and his mustache) on ‘Married With Children’ )〕 and films such as ''The Chamber''. ==Early life== Jackson, the eighth of ten children, was born and raised in Bessemer, Alabama, and was named after Vince Edwards, his mother's favorite actor. His family described him as a "wild boar hog," as he would constantly get into trouble. Once as a child Bo did a backflip in waist deep water. He attended school in McCalla, where he rushed for 1175 yards as a running back as a high school senior. Jackson hit twenty home runs in twenty-five games for McAdory's baseball team during his senior season. He was a two-time state champion in the decathlon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090425184745/http://www.nsca-lift.org/interview/BoJackson.shtml )〕 In 1982, Bo set state school records for indoor high-jump (6'9") and triple-jump (48'8").〔Heisler, Mark, (''It's the Bo Show'' ), ''Los Angeles Times'', March 30, 1988〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bo Jackson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
