The most challenging part about writing this book was that the subject material was at least 40 years old. Memories fade and recollections are often unreliable. However, many unknown nuggets were dug out such as Bo's participation in minor league football (not to be confused with the lesser semi-pro football). It was well known that he was drafted by MLB and the NFL, but in 1968 Bo also played for the
Harrisburg Capital Colts of the Atlantic Coast Football League (ACFL) and in 1969 for the
Portland Loggers of the Continental Football League (CFL) all while he continued to toil in the baseball minors, as an assistant at OSU and after a supposed career ending achilles injury with the Baltimore Colts. All of this was presumably for the love of the game and to stay in shape, because there was little money involved. Bo never included this activity on his resume and rarely spoke of it. Bo was the ultimate bad-ass.
