Man they throwing gas at Jordan
Apparently catchers told MJ what pitches were good n bad, saw it in this documentary called space jam
Lol that wrong description LMAO. That's not a ground-rule double MLB
Winning Chicago goat beating losing Chicago goat. Makes sense 😊
If Mike didn't leave the Bulls he would have another ring.
I have no doubt in mind, that MJ would have made it to the big leagues if it was not for the strike or if he would have stayed another year in the minors.
I think the issue was his coaching. He never would have been a truly great player jumping into the sport after 30, because some things just take a lifetime of experience and he dedicated that to basketball, but he could have been successful. But not with that batting stance lol..
Harry Caray on the call too. Amazing
GOAT
That's so awesome.
As a Chicago kid watching this game I went nuts when he hit this double…afterwards I was utterly perplexed and furious that they didn’t throw MJ into the Sox starting lineup right away after this game 😂.
His father pushed him into basketball he loved baseball more why after the death of his father he went to baseball.
GOAT 🐐
The one time i'd ever wear a Jordan jersey or a White Sox jersey is if they're the same thing
Went to school with a guy looked just like him, almost as tall. David would ride with me and car always had people walking up !
How cool is that! Lebron, you try hitting a MLB pitch. His baseball career is amazing if you really look into it.
It’s amazing he hit over .200 in Double A. People dont understand how hard it is to hit
This kid have potential in basketball 🤔🤔🤔
The fact that this happens is so insane. So many aspects of the greatness of Michael Jordan that is still under appreciated. To be raised in Chicago during the 90s was special.
I was looking to see everyone recording on their cell phones lol
If MJ hadn't retired twice during his illustrious NBA career, he'd be the NBA's all time scoring leader, not LeBum James. James'll never surpass as one of the GOATs.
Never the less his baseball career did seem like a publicity stunt and he was groomed.
Deion Sander's.
I was at this game , I was 13 years old !
Baseball is not your sport mike, no it isn't. Basketball is your sport.
That is the only man who could unite the Cubs and White Sox fans for one game in cheering
Let’s face it.. Mike sucked at Baseball 😂😂
Si, lebron James es el mejor díganle que se retire y juegue en la mlb y haga lo mismo o juegue fútbol
