Of course Bo spent that entire month on the DL. During a Royals 10-7 Victory over the Yankees Jackson hit 3 Home Runs in his first 3 At Bats. But prior to getting a chance at recording a fourth he was injured diving for a Deion Sanders line drive. Sanders ended up with an Inside-The-Park Home Run.
Bo Jackson ended up with an injured shoulder which sidelined him for 40 days.
1991 Score #420 Bo Jackson - Highlight Four Consecutive Homers (b-side)
The day he came back Jackson picked up right where he left off. In his first AB after coming off the DL He homered off of Future Hall of Famer and Year of the No-Hitter subject Randy Johnson. For the Day Jackson was 3 for 4 and came a triple shy of the cycle as the Royals won 8-2.
Curiously the first 3 Homers were hit off of another Year of the No-Hitter pitcher, Andy Hawkins. This makes this our 3rd posting this month with an Andy Hawkins connection, The Hawkins non-hitter, The Melido Perez non-hitter and now Bo Jackson's 4 consecutive Homers.
