We have seen Bo Jackson and Orlando Cabrera is no Bo Jackson<o></o>
By David Brown<o></o>
<o></o>
Even when Bo Jackson struck out (which was often), the 6-foot-1 Rock of Gibraltar entertained the masses by channeling his disappointment into a show of strength — by snapping his bat over his knee like it was a toothpick.<o></o>
He might not have been the first to do it, but Bo turned bat breaking into art. Every once in a while, a contemporary major leaguer will break his bat, or will try, in like fashion.<o></o>
As we will see in the photographic evidence obtained from the Yankees' 7-2 playoff victory over the Twins on Wednesday night, Minnesota's Orlando Cabrera(notes) don't know diddley about breaking a bat over his knee.
<o></o>
<o></o>
With the Twins trying to rally in the seventh inning, Cabrera (right) and manager Ron Gardenhire wonder how much force it takes to snap <S>a man</S> a bat in two. ...
<o></o>
<o></o>
After a personal-best playoff outing, CC Sabathia(notes) hopes the bullpen can pick him up. ...
<o></o>
<o></o>
Phil Hughes(notes) has the O.C. right where he wants him. ...
<o></o>
<o></o>
Swing and a miss! ...
<o></o>
<o></o>
My name is Orlando Cabrera. You missed the ball. Prepare to die. ... (Princess Bride Ref)
<o></o>
<o></o>
By the power of Greyskull! ...
<o></o>
<o></o>
Ow. ...
<o></o>
<o></o>
Left-leaning celebrities applaud the saving of another tree. ...
<o></o>
<o></o>
The bat is safe for another plate appearance. <o></o>
