A year after winning the all-star game MVP Bo Jackson had his best game ever. On July 17, 1990 Bo hit 3 home runs and drove in 7 runs in a 10-7 win over the Yankees. Unfortunately Bo got hurt that game and ended up missing a month but when he came back he homered in his first at bat and in fact went deep in three of his first four games back. Bo was on fire when he went on the DL and stayed hot when he came back. He had a 21 game stretch where he hit 13 homers and drove in 35 runs while hitting .324/.386/.919/1.305. Willie Wilson replaced Bo in the lineup that day and went 2-2 with 2 RBI's meaning KC CFers went 5-5 with 3 HRs and 9 RBI's.
Bo became the seventh Royal to hit 3 home runs in a game and the first since Brett did it in 1983. Danny Tartabull did it a year later and that's the last time a Royal has went deep three times in the same game - 17 years and counting.
