I was completely shocked when Michael Jordan announced his semi retirement in 1993

Should've did this right after the Finals and started training a little earlier, every second counts in baseball.. Could've played another year and possibly been a late season call up. Wasn't absolutely bad lol. White Sox weren't good that next season anyway and could have used the hype money haha. Despite his .202 BA, he did have a .290 OBP, which looks low, but a .088 difference isnt bad. He stole 30 bases w/ only being on base 29% of the time, that's pretty good. Did have 3 homers and 51 Rbi's too. Unless the catcher was the guy in Space Jam 😂. Wasn't terrible in the outfield as well. He could've progressed, even Terry Francona, who was his manager at the time, said he couldve made the big leagues with more time... But who can deny abother 3 NBA 🏆 🏆 🏆
