A good portion of the seventh episode of The Last Dance covers Michael Jordan's brief stint as a minor league baseball player. After winning his third consecutive NBA championship, Jordan famously hung up his sneakers to try his hand at baseball. After one sub-par season playing at double-A with the Birmingham Barons, Jordan returned to the hardcourt.
Had His Airness stuck it out, however, perhaps his determination and natural athletic gifts could have gotten him to the big leagues. That's what two-time World Series champion manager Terry Francona thinks, at least.
"With 1500 at-bats, he would've found a way to get into the major leagues," Francona, who managed Jordan on the Barons, said in the seventh installment of The Last Dance.
