Michael Jordan was not added to the A’s major league roster in 1994, despite a big push from former general manager Sandy Alderson.
MJ's baseball journey, in the midst of his 15-year basketball career, would conclude with 127 games with the Chicago White Sox Double-A affiliate, batting just .202. But the reasoning behind staying in the Windy City had to do with how loyal he was to Chicago, and a little bit of self-reflection.
“Michael’s an amazingly loyal guy,” Jordan’s agent David Falk told MLB.com, confirming the A’s pursuit of the NBA Hall of Famer.
