@I hate Modest Pelican Gaming well a hit is a hit lol ever heard of the phrase 90% mental and 10%physical? You can't be good at baseball if you're afraid of the ball lol And then you have to be physically strong, baseball wise not just in general.
@I hate Modest Pelican Gaming like 99% of baseball players don't consider him to be good. That's like saying "if you run you're good at track or if you dribble with the ball and shoot it and make it you're good at basketball."
@kevin smith ahh gotcha.. Sometimes it's not so much you being the one who's not into it, but because of parents or coaches who ruin it for you as a kid. My niece stopped playing softball because the coach on the select team she was was on would hit back rocket ground balls to the girls in practice and well it's not fun and discouraging especially when you're younger.

Respect each other's decisions. for ex: I don't really like watching tennis, but if my friend is playing in the match you best believe I'm gonna be the hypest one in there lol.
C and d Tv Too be fair, his name was the reason he had a chance at pro ball. Sure he wasn’t bad at AA but if it was just another random guy wanting a chance, I doubt he would have had a chance
Wumbo Jumbo yeah but he was still good enough to be there But Jordan never played baseball so how did his name get him there maybe for tickets but still not enough to say Jordan’s name got him there
What do you mean he wasn’t great. He hasn’t played ball since he was 18, 13 years before he played then. And his stats were actually better than most players back then too.
Jordan atleast from what I heard was asked to go away from the NBA for awhile is why he did the baseball thing...As he had caused alot of drama and was putting the NBA in a bad situation...Due to his enormous gambling problem heard his father was killed because of it as well...
Clint Cooper what I know as well. It’s a mystery to which reason is the true one that Jordan leaves to baseball. Only he knows what’s going on. Probably both true at the right timing. But whatever it is, he still remains the one and only person who retired from the peak of his sport and change to a sport he hasn’t touched for a long time and then went back to achieve another peak. The whole journey was a legendarily crazy.
This man gave up basketball after winning 3 consecutive NBA championships, played baseball for a year and a half to fulfill his late dad's dream, came back to basketball and won another three-peat. He is definitely the GOAT of basketball, hands down
He gave up basketball? 😂😭 no tf he didn’t boys was avoiding that scandal he was making the league a lot of money. It’s like getting out the city after you do sumn illegal and letting it cool down
@@cornonthecob-9564 yeah for someone who hadn't played since the high school level. He never had major league talent but he was able to play AA ball and be better than average. I'm guessing less that 10 percent of college players ever get to that level so he had amazing natural talent.
I hear when they were going to play the 95 season with replacement players, MJ was likely going to be among them, until he said he didnt want to make the majors like that, he wanted to earn it. I respect that.
DoubleFailMech It still says something that a Hall of Famer in one sport wouldn’t want anything other than a chance to compete in another sport handed to him. He didn’t want to possibly take up a roster spot that could have gone to a minor league call up
DoubleFailMech MJ never intended to make a full second career in baseball anyways. As for your false parallel it not at all like praising someone for not robbing you, since MJ didn’t rob anyone in the end after all. The White Sox wouldn’t have retain him on a contract if that was the case. He played in the minor leagues too just like all players do
DoubleFailMech If MJ took up a roster spot, it was for more than publicity or he would have been a major leaguer from day one which he obviously wasn’t. For a man who had not played competitive baseball on any sort of level in easily 10 plus years he did surprisingly well and no one can deny
@DoubleFailMech i think it is praiseworthy because his dream from the childhood, one that he has said he shared with his father, was to play in the Majors. That opportunity was right there for the taking, and he turned it down. He wanted to earn the spot fair and squre, which is the right thing to do. You think he turned it down because he was afraid of what people might say? He spent his entire life under a microscope. If he was afraid of what people said about him, he would've quit when SI published the story "Bag it, Michael" Jordan was never a guy to back down from a challenge. He kept playing and i believe he would've kept playing if it weren't for the 95 MLB strike and the risk of him wasting is best playing years away. When someone chooses to do the right thing instead of what's easy, thats always worth some praise
I believe had Michael had followed his dad's wishes and chose baseball over basketball earlier in his life, he would've been a superstar just like he was in basketball. His athleticism was unreal
@Ulysses432 because it wasnt the NBA alone....it was the Mob. Theres proof in the Mob that Jordan had MILLIONS on the books in gambling. He wasnt paying alot of his losses. Guess what....Theres confessions from one of the top bosses in the Mafia who said his father was in fact killed for his debts. The Mafia and the NBA (in the 80s and 90s the NBA and mob were working together in gambling. They worked with superstars and refs to throw games...the NBA was the easiest sport to use for throwing games back then). The Mob and NBA made a under the rug deal that allowed Jordan to leave the NBA for 2 years and his past gaming debts would be paid and thrown under the rug. Watch Michael Franzese interviews about Jordan and The Kennedy family. Alot of deep shit
@Ulysses432 LOOK IT UP DUMBASS. It's sad that morons like you still believe that Jordan was innocent and retired for nothing. His gambling was well documented in MANY interviews by MANY of his fellow players, including Magic and Barkley. MICHAEL FRANZESE....That's the proof. Yes he was gambling with Italian mobsters....they had most the NBA, including the refs, in their pockets.
Lucille 11 I agree, had he gotten into the MLB, he would have been a decent bench player or a replacement for an injured guy. Just not an elite level player.
Person hitting 90 consistently is very difficult, throw in a pitcher who can trick you into hitting offspeed like a slider, sinker, curveball or anything else in their repertoire. Yeah they won’t do it, trying to make it sound like everyone in high school could do it, if that was the case, where are all the minors contracts at your school?
yes sure. but sports fans feel the need to criticize any player who doesnt play to their standards. it is what it is. so with that? why should Jordan's baseball career be any different
He never played MLB, he only played in the minors. No player who played in the minors would claim they played MLB. They would say they played professional baseball.Playing in an exhibition game does not qualify as playing MLB.
It's so humbling...the love Michael Jordan had for his father, who was callously murdered, compelled him to quit his best sport, and play his father's favorite sport as a tribute. So touching.....
I'm guessing people are going to watch this clip after watching The Last Dance. Side note, the MLB should release MJ's #45 White Sox jersey for the public.
I'm so lucky to have started watching the NBA in '92. I remember when MJ went on Oprah to talk about retiring, I bawled my eyes out for a good 30min. He was the first real life superhero!
Alex B 36 this wasn’t his only game he even has baseball cards and you just watched a video what did you think this video was edited and they cut him into it
Wow didt expect that He was pretty good basketball player consodering he played in the best league but man wow He was the GOAT in baseball Wish he played more Imagine how many more thing he could have accomplished
I really admired him while I was growing up. I grew up in Chicago and I was so proud of him even though he wasn’t from Illinois. He was my “hero” and he inspired me to play basketball. M Air J 😊
He did it for his father. Remember, we did not come from nothing but from our fathers. Hence, to be a champion, you must honor your father, because from thence is where your true strength flows forth.
People have said that if the baseball strike hadn't happened he could've made it to the Majors. Because he had improved that much in the time he was in AAA
Watching this just makes me think of how incredible not only for Jordan to do this, but then for people like Deion who played in a Super Bowl and a World Series, or Bo Jackson who was an MLB all star and an All Pro typebplayer
He looked real comfortable up there his stance was athletic and relaxed if he would played this much younger regularly I think he have a nice MLB career
A lot of people like to knock Jordan’s baseball stint, but I thought he did a very respectable job for a guy just walking into AA professional baseball, cold. He was a better hitter than most major league pitchers, most of whom are great athletes in their own right, who grew up playing shortstop and batting 3rd when they weren’t on the mound. Knowing his work ethic and competitiveness, I bet he would’ve made it to the show had he stuck with it.
If Michael were too play baseball out fo high school and go all in I think he would’ve made the majors and stay there for a bit a man with his superhuman ability can not be held back
Gilbert Leyba his dad wanted him to play baseball and after his dad was shot he did this as a tribute to fulfill his dream and his dads dream lmao he was pretty good too, AA level talent player plus last time he played baseball was when he was 18
Shawn Kemp no, no he wasn’t. He was a below average major leaguer. And if he actually was an amazing baseball player, his skills and accomplishments on the field would have never outclassed his skills and accomplishments on the court. He is the greatest basketball player to ever live, so for him to be better at baseball than basketball, it would mean he was the greatest baseball player to ever live. And we all know that is not true.
Being from Chicago, this is just awesome to see! Harry,Stoney, MJ, and the park. Great memories. Terry Francona (a legend in his own right) managed Jordan with the Birmingham Barons, and said MJ was close, in face "another 1000 swings,and MJ would be well on his way". Here's a guy who hadnt played baseball since he was 13, and suddenly held his own in A ball. His remarkable competitive spirit wouldve made him an above-average athlete in prob several sports. Tennis,soccer, wide receiver. He has proven my theory with baseball & golf.
In 127 games for the Birmingham Barons, Jordan had 88 hits in 436 at-bats, earning a batting average of . 202. Jordan finished the season with three home runs and 51 RBI. Jordan scored 46 runs and stole 30. Not bad for basketball player.
Everyone here is trying to compare MJ to LeBron. Here's the argument-ender: LeBron may have been in more finals than MJ, but MJ didn't lose every finals he was in.
I think just making it to the Finals counts for something. Sure Lebron will probably never reach 6 titles but it's debatable as to who is/was the better player, depending on your criteria.
He played one season in the minors on a AA team and batted 202 - Ya gotta give him credit for trying but baseball is tough even at the minor league level. Even those who make it to the majors often play in as few as one or two games before being sent down to the minors or completely released by the team. Baseball looks simple but it's actually brutal.
There WAS and still is Another Michael Jordan. HIS name is DEION SANDERS and he played baseball and football in the same season and Won CHAMPIONSHIPS with the Cowboys and 9s and worked with the Braves for the World Series. . MJ took a whole year off of basketball which doesn't conflict a baseball schedule much at all. Suppose he did both for multiple years... He might be solo top Goat. Bo Jackson also in the rank for GOAT with DEION and Mike, and my vote goes to SANDERS
Jordan said those minor leaguers were the best thing that ever happened to him. They rejuvenated his love for the game of basketball, and he came back better than ever.
Michael Jordan: *breathes*
Announcer: “THE CROWD GOES WILD!!”
Could be worse, I heard there was a time when he was golfing, he threw away an apple core and the fans dove after it.
Tony Styles 😂
😂
Aha still better then delusional media kissing lechoke james ass and sheep fans of LeBron make excuses for 3-6
cortezmauricio1989 lmao LeHaters always bring him up for no reason
Look at his stats. They were legit as hell for a guy that had not played organized baseball in over 10 years.
@@de132 well he was still athlete freak.but its still impressive

It's Life - Your niece stopped playing softball because the coach hit ground balls too hard😬
I love Jordan’s attitude. He wasn’t that great a baseball player, but his attitude was still positive and confident. Had a real winning attitude.
mikem987 he played pro baseball farther than a lot of people get he played minor league baseball he was a good baseball player not great but good

Michael Tried I Give Michael Credit For That
Brilliant for ticket sales back then. Better player than many pros I’ve seen as of late. If you have that jersey it’s worth a lot.
I feel like Jordan is that person who can be good at any sport and not just good like make it to the league good

Remember, we did not come from nothing but from our fathers.
Hence, to be a champion, you must honor your father, because from thence is where your true strength flows forth.

What inside the park home run?😂
Mike went 2-3 in a major league game, that’s impressive if you ask me

Gotta love that. His attitude was outstanding!
Jordan was the greatest athlete in my lifetime. I can't say of all time because there was a fellow named Jim Thorpe long ago.
If Michael were too play baseball out fo high school and go all in I think he would’ve made the majors and stay there for a bit a man with his superhuman ability can not be held back
He could've had 7 or 8 rings if he didn't waste his time doing this. Lol

I wish I was old enough to watch Jordan play baseball, I was born in 1994
He hit 200.... that’s incredible
wow, wrigley field was pretty empty even for MJ. Shows you how Cubs hype slowly started to explode in the 80's and 90's
Omar Morales Luna because Wrigley is a fucking dump wasteland
Randy Orton Their bathrooms are so smelly and awful
you know damn well all the baseball players gave him the hardest time knowing he was a legendary basketball player moving in their territory
It’s Michael Jordan he can play every sport
Being from Chicago, this is just awesome to see! Harry,Stoney, MJ, and the park. Great memories. Terry Francona (a legend in his own right) managed Jordan with the Birmingham Barons, and said MJ was close, in face "another 1000 swings,and MJ would be well on his way". Here's a guy who hadnt played baseball since he was 13, and suddenly held his own in A ball. His remarkable competitive spirit wouldve made him an above-average athlete in prob several sports. Tennis,soccer, wide receiver. He has proven my theory with baseball & golf.
look at mike out there playing the part well spitting and everything lol
People say lebron is better than jordan but did lebron play in the MLB?
angelo gomez But the real question is Was MJ Ever good at baseball?
Jordan didnt play in the MLB
Did Jordan? LOL other than publicity stunts?
That's a different sport it doesn't matter. Also LeBron could've played in the NFL I'm just saying
Nah People say Lebron is a basketball player better than Jordan. playing in MLB doesnt mean anything into the discussion
Man, would've loved to see him.get a world series ring also.
CZcams has brought us all back together
Of course he got an RBI single because he's Michael Jordan.
Pitcher probably threw him meatballs
Looks like he was taking BP with Frank Thomas. He has what appears to be a very unpolished Big Hurt swing.
This healed him from the passing of his father ....that was there dream together baseball just happens that basketball was his calling
In 127 games for the Birmingham Barons, Jordan had 88 hits in 436 at-bats, earning a batting average of . 202. Jordan finished the season with three home runs and 51 RBI. Jordan scored 46 runs and stole 30. Not bad for basketball player.
Maybe this is the only time where I don't want to be like Mike.
dude just stfu. ur going to be a nobody anyways.
Maybe don't do the gambling part either
Diego Ortiz Chill out he's just making a joke
People like you is why net neutrality is gone.
no its because Ajit Pai wanted it gone dumbass nigga
I was there! Still have the ticket stub!!
Man Jordan looks like a basketball player. I think he should get to the league!
The 90s to 2000s were such a cool time
This Game is too slow for him, But he was a solid baseball player, very Competitive in whatever he wants to choose to Play.
Everyone here is trying to compare MJ to LeBron. Here's the argument-ender: LeBron may have been in more finals than MJ, but MJ didn't lose every finals he was in.
LeBron: 3-4 in Finals. Michael: 6-0. LeBron can never match him percentage-wise.
I think just making it to the Finals counts for something. Sure Lebron will probably never reach 6 titles but it's debatable as to who is/was the better player, depending on your criteria.
Just making it is one thing, but that will never hold up with actually winning.
To be fair to LeBron, he is a part of a rap group called 3 6 Mafia, that's more than it can be said for Jordan.
Lol not sure LeBron had as many women slob on his knob though 😝
IM going to name my son MJ.. seems like those two initials makes a man destine for greatness. 😁👩🏾🦲👩🏾🦲👩🏾🦲👩🏾🦲👩🏾🦲👩🏾🦲
Great athlete!
The catcher legit told him it was gonna be a fastball down the middle on the double, and it was.
This isn’t what happened in space jam😂
Ye man i was like whaat he hit the ball :D
Should've been a all star that years impeccable numbers!!!!!
This is old old news geeeee. I remember him playing ball.
He played one season in the minors on a AA team and batted 202 - Ya gotta give him credit for trying but baseball is tough even at the minor league level. Even those who make it to the majors often play in as few as one or two games before being sent down to the minors or completely released by the team. Baseball looks simple but it's actually brutal.
Imagine if he put all the focus in baseball that he did in basketball.
There WAS and still is Another Michael Jordan. HIS name is DEION SANDERS and he played baseball and football in the same season and Won CHAMPIONSHIPS with the Cowboys and 9s and worked with the Braves for the World Series. . MJ took a whole year off of basketball which doesn't conflict a baseball schedule much at all. Suppose he did both for multiple years... He might be solo top Goat. Bo Jackson also in the rank for GOAT with DEION and Mike, and my vote goes to SANDERS
Jordan said those minor leaguers were the best thing that ever happened to him. They rejuvenated his love for the game of basketball, and he came back better than ever.
