Travis Snider breaks his bat over his thigh (Bo Jackson styles) after striking out in the 6th inning with the bases loaded against the Yankees. Little did Snider know he’d hit a walk-off double in the 10th.

The Nike Trainer SC 2010 features an authentic brown leather finish resembling that of a “baseball glove.” Much of the design pays tribute to the Trainer SC that Bo Jackson made famous with the Nike “Bo Knows” commercials.
The Nike Training category may have been created in large part due to Bo Jackson, but these take the tribute to Bo a step further with Bo Knows and the year 1989 stitched into the ankle area. 1989 was the year the original Bo Knows campaigns began, as well as the year the original Trainer SC was created. — blog.eastbay.com
