Don't kill me but did Bo Jackson have the best arm in baseball history?
From an outfielder perspective.

Why would anyone “kill you” over that post? And it’s a subjective question but I’ll wait for someone to show me a singular better throw in MLB history other than his from the track to the plate throw.

Rick Ankiel also had a cannon for an arm. Of course, in his case, he had a cannon for an arm because he was a pitcher, but too much of a ****ing head case to be able to pitch.

Dwight Evans of the Red Sox
Bo Jackson Jesse Barfield was incredible but got little recognition or exposure with his missle like throws. |
