Mark Gubicza has an idea, and he is just the guy to make it happen. As a pitcher in the 1980s and ¡¯90s, Gubicza was a teammate of Bo Jackson¡¯s on the Kansas City Royals. As a television analyst now, he calls games for the Los Angeles Angels, the team of Shohei Ohtani. His dream pregame show would bring the two players together.
¡°Bo Knows Sho,¡± Gubicza said this week, by the Angels¡¯ dugout at Yankee Stadium in New York City. ¡°I think we¡¯re finally going to get it this year.¡±
Ohtani, the Angels¡¯ pitching and hitting sensation, was born in the summer of 1994, just as Jackson¡¯s celebrated athletic career was ending. Jackson finished as a member of the Angels, of all teams, and played his final game in the very ballpark where Ohtani is forging his own two-way legend.
