Bo Jackson

Keep in mind how much hype there was about him back then.

Bo was never as good as the hype- I remember Buck O'neil comparing his power to Ruth's in Ken Burn's (abomidable) PBS "baseball" documentary miniseries... and there's all the "bo knows" commercials...

but he was very damn good. i think he would have had a carrer arc and legacy simaler to that of griffey jr or clinton portis, rather than bonds or marcus allen.
