"I'm busy at the hospital, sitting up with doctors," said Jackson, "poking me and shining lights down my throat and probing me every way they can to find out why I got these hiccups."

He'll be undergoing a surgical procedure to address the ongoing condition. 

As an MLB player, Jackson is best known for the epic highlight of walking on the outfield wall after a catch with the Kansas City Royals. 

Bo knew how to hit the ball as well, winning the All-Star Game MVP in 1989, and hitting 32 homers with 105 RBIs that season, finishing top 10 in MVP voting. 

His careers in both baseball and football came to a premature end, however, due to severe hip injuries. 

One of the greatest athletes of all time, we wish him well as he battles this strange and rare hiccups condition.
