Rays win Twitter with Michael Jordan 'I'm Back' joke to celebrate MLB return

Baseball is back, and the masses are excited.

But the tweet of the night has to go to the Tampa Bay Rays' social media team, who used the opportunity to call back to "The Last Dance" and Michael Jordan lore by mimicking the fax Jordan spammed to the world on March 18, 1995 to proclaim his return to basketball — which, ironically enough, was preceded by an MLB player strike that spanned from 1994 to 1995.

Pitch perfect if you ask us.

While Charlie Morton, Kevin Kiermaier and Austin Meadows being back in our lives (sorry, those are just the first three that popped into my head) doesn't quite carry the same weight as Jordan's return from his first retirement, in a sports-starved world, it feels pretty darn close.
