00:00Well, here's the welcome back for Bo Jackson.

00:04It's been a while since the Royals fans have seen him play.

00:07July 17th, when he hurt that shoulder,

00:10diving for a ball at Yankee Stadium.

00:14We've got an interesting note on him, Joe,

00:16about his strikeouts and at-bats.

00:18He has exactly 300 at-bats right now

00:21and exactly 100 strikeouts.

00:23Good or bad?

00:24I'd say that's kind of bad.

00:26This pitch is belted to deep center field

00:29and Conno walks up.

00:30Welcome back, Bo Jackson.

00:32That ball is wick in the upper tier of the fountain

00:36in deep left center field.

00:38He got a high fastball and hit it a mile.

00:42Wow.

00:43That looked like one of my drives

00:45that drops about 10 yards short of the green

00:47into a pond.

00:49Mercy.

00:50That ball hit about 460, 70 feet

00:54into the fountain in deep left center field.

00:58I'll say 500.

00:59I'll go out on a limb and say 500 feet.

01:03If you ever wanted to know how far a guy

01:05could hit a 100-mile-an-hour fastball

01:07with a swing like Bo Jackson, you just found out.

01:11And that is four home runs in a row for Bo Jackson.

01:14Fastball at the belt, and as Dave said, belted.

01:18Henry wants to see it splash.

01:20Watch the puddle up top.

01:22Bingo.

01:23Unbelievable.

01:24Have a look at this.

01:26High towering fly ball.

01:29Look at about 2 o'clock on your screen,

01:31and watch the splash.

01:37Great extension.

01:39Henry pulls up to take a look.

01:41Upper right-hand part of your screen.

01:42It's a plonk.
