Michael Jordan is one of the most famous and admired athletes in sports history. He made his living in the NBA, only briefly playing minor league baseball during a hiatus from basketball (except for this one time he came as close as one could to actually being in the show...)

50 stolen bases is pretty good he was retired and crippled at that point for MJ and he wasn't as agile in his prime

MLB scouts say that if MJ would have spent 3 more years in baseball, he would've went pro.

@JonPITBZN Год назад

If Jordan had signed with the As instead of the Sox, he would have made the majors, right away. That was a contract offer that he had in 1994. Jordan signed with the Sox specifically because they agreed to send him to the minors.

@LDQBBQ Год назад

For him not to sink like a rock is an amazing accomplishment. Well trained baseball players who have dedicated their lives to the game and were one of the best everywhere they ever went come to AA and get exposed. Mike hung in there, and took everyone's best shot. He wasn't so much of a gifted basketball player as he was hard working and intelligent. He found a way to be competitive at a high level at something he had little experience doing. Hail to the king.

@SaltyChip Год назад

What was crazy and not as well known or reported was how much his body changed from working out different muscles. When he came back to the bulls, he looked totally different and didn’t have the same 1st step as before. He immediately hit the gym and weight rooms after being eliminated by the magic and came back the next season as the #23 Jordan that we all knew and loved. The bulls absolutely dominated that season.

@brandoelee6161 Год назад

He changed back to 23 DURING the series against the magic.

@ajculum723 Год назад

Another interesting thing about his minor league season is Terry Francona was his manager

@chitown7395 Год назад

I was at this game. It was the last or one of the last Cross-Town Classics that was the end of Spring Training and before the start of the inter-league play. We were sitting on the 1st base side in the lower section near the back at Wrigley and it was chance that we got to go to the game. My mom ended up getting tickets to go to the game, so my mom, my younger brother and myself, someone else went with us but I forgot who. I remember when they were warming up and tossing baseballs to Jordan and the fans cheered everything every catch and even the ball he dropped. LOL. It was great memory to have of being there at this game.

@SaltyChip Год назад

As something that lived through the baseball years, it’s strange to hear some people are unaware of it because it was front page news everyday. “Jordan goes 1-5 with 3 strikeouts. Manager sees promise” is a typical headline throughout the year.

Michael Jordan hit three home runs in AAA with the White Sox

@pittsburghbob69 Год назад

Look up Jordan’s batting stats for his last 2-3 months. He was actually ok. Plus he played in the AFL and his stats were good there. He started off really slow and was getting eaten up by AA pitching(he was hitting below .200). But his last 2-3 months, he wasn’t bad and was improving. Terry Franconia was his manager and said if he stuck with it he would’ve made MLB. Like legit made the Major Leagues; on his own merits. He stole bases(I believe he stole 30) and covered a lot of ground in the OF as well. But again, take away his first couple months, and add in his Arizona Fall League stats, he actually had decent numbers.

@BroadswordMedia Год назад

Wow! I had no idea that he actually did that against major league pitchers. I'm under the impression than not everybody he was batting against was someone who was on the White Sox major league roster though. It is still the preseason and I'm sure some of the pitching he was going against were players that were going to go down to the minor leagues anyway. Even so that is really quite an impressive performance from someone who hadn't played baseball competitively for over a decade

@Gemnist98 Год назад

We laugh about it now and think “This shit really happened?” and “Thanks for bringing him back to his TRUE sport, Bugs Bunny!”, but honestly, the real story behind this is just depressing. It wasn’t a spur of the moment decision, it was him dealing with incredible loss. The only reason Jordan played baseball was because, once upon a time, his father envisioned him to play in that sport rather than basketball. And we all know what happened to Jordan’s father. It’s no coincidence that Jordan’s decision to go into MiLB happened during the 1993 off-season, which is also when his father was killed. All in all, I’m just glad Jordan was able to somewhat recover emotionally - hell, I highly doubt he would have done Space Jam if that weren’t the case.

@SaltyChip Год назад

Jordan’s head def was crushed by his father’s murder. The fact the all time best basketball player left and decided to play a sport where being successful 30% of the time is bonkers for someone that expects perfection at whatever he is doing. The writing was on the wall when cameras caught him shooting around with other bball players.

@pharmesq Год назад

First off, telling Oprah that being rich makes you attractive... that writes itself! Second, I had never heard of this game. I always thought Jordan's attempt at baseball was a total flop. Dude went 2-5, and one of those was just a straight up, clean double? Respect. Even if it was just a publicity stunt I think he would have made it back to the show for real. Problem is, he was the GOAT at basketball (undisputedly so in his era, and even today his name is absolutely in the running). He was never going to be the GOAT at baseball. He could have been decent. Maybe even above league average. But that was probably his ceiling.

@shhh2955 Год назад

The hell with LeBron James, the goat at hooping and “baseball” still the best I’ve seen as a kid or in replays as an adult. If you say James is in the same category, conversation is over.

@OH_MY_DOGGG Год назад

My argument is that he is still active and its hard to compare someone without the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. Same can be said for Jordan. The key difference is it was already understood with Jordan.

@thelonelyphish Год назад

2 for 5 means MJ has a .400 career batting average in MLB, step aside Tony Gwynn 💀

Jordan gets shit on a lot for his time in baseball but with basically no experience he hit above the Mendoza line with 3 HRs in his year in AA ball. Decent outting for a 31 year old rookie who didnt play baseball.

Dude the content itself is fire. No cap. But the random family guy style "it's like 'random unrelated thing" are dumb as shiit. They aren't funny... at all... not even like in a "oh I remember the thing so haha I like the thing". I'm telling you this as constructive criticism because if I was doing something the probably seemed like a fun idea but was really annoying as fuk and falling flat.... I would want someone to tell me Oh and Happy Bday. Hope it's a good one
