From the archives: The true story behind Michael Jordan's brief-but-promising baseball career

Nowadays, fans look upon Michael Jordan's foray into another sport 26 years ago as a whim and conclude that his baseball career was a bust. They could not be more wrong.

ESPN, Bleacher Report and other outlets really trying to push this MJ was a great baseball player narrative.

 

[AZTG]

Media was super vicious back then.

 

[Mr.LV]

This episode is going to be emotional

 

[Mister B.]

No matter what anyone thinks of Mike, you have to feel for the guy when his dad was found murdered.

The press ain’t shit for this....

And to blame him

 

[AZTG]

Those accusations were fucking terrible.

 

[AZTG]

Mikes career is easily the most interesting of all time.

Imagine hearing that Bron was retiring tomorrow out of nowhere when he was 30. Shit would break the internet and all media. Cant even imagine. Wild shit.

 

[IP360]

I understand it. I think he needed that period to grieve.

 

[IP360]

Yeah so this is the part we..



...and forget about that period where MJ played baseball. Lol

Its still wild to me. Imagine being the highest paid athlete in the world based off just endorsements, talking tens of millions, and risking all that to play another sport.

Just shows how it was a different world at the time. This shit will never happen today.

Jordan was a sucka for those breaking balls lol

 

[Mr.LV]

Jordan's drive is something else

 

[AZTG]

Trash base running technique though

 

[Mr.LV]

Michael calling Scott a "ho" lol
