Iconic former two-sport athlete Bo Jackson will soon be getting treatment for a nagging case of the hiccups.
The legendary Auburn University running back said the condition caused him to miss a Frank Thomas statue dedication at his alma mater.
“I wasn’t [at the ceremony] because of dealing with hiccups,” Jackson said Tuesday on “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning,” a radio show on WJOX-FM of Birmingham, Alabama. “I’ve had the hiccups since last July. I’m getting a medical procedure done the end of this week, I think, to try to remedy it. I’ve been busy sitting at the doctor’s poking me, shining lights down my throat, probing me every way they can to find out why I’ve got these hiccups. That’s the only reason I wasn’t there.
The ex-Los Angeles Raider and Major League Baseball All-Star said he’s “done everything [to beat hiccups] — scare me, hang upside down, drink water, smell the a— of a porcupine. It doesn’t work.” Jackson, 60, won the Heisman Trophy in 1985 and is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. He recorded 4,575 all-purpose yards and 45 touchdowns while playing from 1982-85 at Auburn.
He also played baseball for the Tigers and went on to split his time between MLB and the National Football League during his professional career.Jackson’s baseball career lasted from 1986-94 as he played for the Kansas City Royals, Chicago White Sox and California Angels.
