Bo Jackson, Multi Sport Legend, to Have Procedure for Chronic Hiccups After a Year.

Bo Jackson’s Battle with Chronic Hiccups

Bo Jackson, the legendary multisport athlete, has been silently suffering from chronic hiccups since July 2022. He revealed during an appearance on “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning” on WJOX-FM that he will undergo a medical procedure later this week to address the issue.

The Struggle is Real

When asked about missing fellow Auburn legend Frank Thomas’ statue dedication at Plainsman Park in April, Jackson explained that he was dealing with the hiccups and had been busy sitting with doctors trying to find a remedy. He has tried everything from the cliché to the exotic, including scaring himself, hanging upside down, drinking water, and even smelling the ass of a porcupine, but nothing has worked.

A Miserable Experience

It’s a miserable experience for the former NFL Pro Bowler and MLB All-Star. The causes of hiccups can be incredibly murky, with a wide range of potential factors, which usually isn’t an issue when they go away after a few minutes but can make cases such as Jackson’s a true ordeal.

A Unique Legend

Bo Jackson retired in 1994 and is known as one of the most athletic people to step onto a baseball field and one of the fastest people to ever run the ball in the NFL. He spent nine seasons in MLB with the Kansas City Royals, Chicago White Sox, and California Angels and played four seasons in the NFL with the Los Angeles Raiders.

• Retired in 1994
• Most athletic person to step onto a baseball field
• One of the fastest people to ever run the ball in the NFL
• Nine seasons in MLB
• Four seasons in the NFL

The procedure will hopefully take care of the issue; otherwise, Jackson might end up in the annals of chronic hiccups, which are led by Charles Osborne and his still-unexplained 68-year case of hiccups.
