The Chicago White Sox are well known for having the greatest basketball player who ever lived be a part of their organization for a short time. Yesterday was Michael Jordan‘s 57th birthday, so we remember the time he had as a member of the Sox. It didn’t last very long, but Jordan wanted to play baseball after the passing of his father. It was a dream of his dad’s to see his son play professional baseball so he tried it out.
Michael Jordan happened to sign a Minor League deal with the team that was also owned by Chicago Bulls owner, Jerry Reinsdorf.
