Kansas City Royals outfielder Bo Jackson leads off the MLB All-Star Game with a home run and leads the American League to victory
On July 11th, 1989, the 60th MLB All-Star Game starts off with a bang when Royals outfielder Bo Jackson leads off the contest with a home run. He was followed by Boston Red Sox third baseman Wade Boggs, who launched a blast of his own.
The AL won 5-3 with the game’s Most Valuable Player being awarded to multi-sport star Bo Jackson, who was at the peak of his popularity at that time. Jackson had starred in several Nike Cross-Training commercials, including his popular ‘Bo Knows‘ ads.
