On the day Bo signed [with the KC Royals], he asked whether he could take batting practice. Bo had not swung a bat in months. He hit the first pitch he saw off the base of the crown scoreboard in center field. It had to fly 450 feet. Avron Fogelman, who co-owned the Royals, shouted: "Get me that baseball." Bo promptly hit the second ball he saw to almost the exact same spot, off the base of the scoreboard.
"Get me that ball, too," Fogelman said.
