From the book: Raising a Modern-Day Knight by Robert Lewis

Bo Jackson, the former baseball and football star, in Sports Illustrated, writes this:

My father has never seen me play professional baseball or football… I tried to have a relationship with him, gave him my number, said, “Dad, call me. I’ll fly you in.” Can you imagine? I’m Bo Jackson, one of the so-called premier athletes in the country, and I’m sitting in the locker room and envying every one of my teammates whose dad would come in and talk with them after the game. I never experienced that.”
