Bo knows bobbleheads: There is now a bobblehead of Bo Jackson breaking a bat over his knee

By Matt Monagan

Along with running up walls, bashing dingers in front of presidents and rocketing runners out at home, Bo Jackson had a tendency to splinter bats over his knee after a strikeout. Like they were twigs. Like it was just another day in the office. Like this:

And now, this very Bo moment (Boment?) has been memorialized in bobblehead form. As you can gather in the main video above, Bo was very involved in its creation:
"Bobblehead dolls are cute, but you just can't put a head on something and put No. 8 on it and put Jackson on it. You can't do that. It has to be something special ... If it passed my inspection, then it's nice."
Check out more info about purchasing one here. All proceeds will go to White Sox charities. Next up (hopefully), bat-breaking, helmet-style bobblehead:
