Whether you think he is the greatest of all-time or not, he’s back.
Michael Jordan is back, but he isn’t playing basketball. The Colorado Mesa University (CMU) Baseball Team convinced Jordan to come out of retirement to play one year with a shot to win a championship.
He only played three years of college baseball at the University of North Carolina, and he is coming to CMU to use his final year of eligibility.
I understand that Jordan is one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but his talent on the diamond is highly underrated.
He tried to join the Adams State baseball team, but they refused him, saying he was washed.
“And I took that personally,” Jordan said.
Jordan has played all 18 games with the CMU Baseball Team and has a perfect batting average of 1.000. We should be used to watching Jordan accomplish near-impossible feats in sports, but this one is damn impressive.
He has managed to have a perfect batting average through his 75 at-bats, but he also has registered 15 home runs so far this year. Jordan has stolen six bases and he is 58 years old.
If you aren’t impressed, I don’t know what will impress you. Jordan has shown that despite his age, he is still one of the best athletes ever.
CMU still has 22 games left on the schedule as well, so Jordan is just getting started.
