Today's crazy story is actually a rumor from decades ago. About the time back in 1994 that M.L. Carr says he offered the Bulls Jerry Krause a first round pick if the Bulls allowed Carr to talk to Michael Jordan about un-retiring, and leaving baseball to join the Celtics.
Why, though, did the story come and go so quickly? Had there been any truth to Carr’s pursuit?
“As I understand it, Jerry denied having the conversation, which is absolutely not true,” Carr said Monday while reflecting on the quarter-century old phone call to Krause.
