Bo Jackson Hosts the FanDuel World Baseball Championship

If daily fantasy leagues existed when Bo Jackson played, one can bet he would have been a popular choice.  Jackson is getting involved in the FanDuel craze by hosting the World Baseball Championship.

On August 22nd, he will be at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas to hand one of 90 finalists a check for $1 million.  Jackson will also preside over a FanDuel Home Run Derby between the contestants on the 21st. 

This event is fitting for a player that seemed like a fantasy during his career.  Jackson is known as one of the greatest American athletes ever.

He is the only man to be an All-Star in two sports and was equally electric on the football field and baseball diamond.  Jackson was also a college star, winning the 1985 Heisman Trophy at Auburn.

Injuries derailed both his baseball and football careers, but people still have lasting memories of his athletic prowess to this day.  With his “Bo Knows” campaign and the famed Tecmo Bowl video game portrayal of Jackson, he is the closest thing in sports to a cult hero.
