It seemingly came out of nowhere 27 years ago this week when the most famous athlete in the world, Michael Jordan, after having quit basketball the previous fall, announced his intention to try to become a big league ballplayer. It would prove a difficult road for Jordan, who still did far better than anyone could have predicted. Mike and Bill go through both his careers, why he made the switch when he did, and how it ended just as abruptly. Plus, happy birthday to Raul Mondesi and Jimmie Hall!
