Could Michael Jordan have made it to the majors if he had stuck with baseball? It's one of the great unanswerable questions of Jordan's career, as fans and experts have long debated whether or not the greatest basketball player ever had what it took to make it in the MLB. Jerry Reinsdorf, who owns the Bulls and the White Sox, believes that Jordan could have made it in baseball if he had not quit.

"Yes, I really do (think so),'' Reinsdorf said. "Maybe as an extra outfielder. Look at what he accomplished."

Jordan's time in the minor leagues is often seen as a low point in his otherwise prolific career, but many say that Jordan did pretty well considering he was 34 years old and hadn't really played baseball since high school.

Jordan played 127 games for the Birmingham Barons, the White Soxs Double-A affiliate, and batted .202 with 3 home runs and 51 RBI. Not exactly Hall of Fame numbers, but his old teammates have typically agreed with Reinsdorf, saying Jordan would probably have reached the MLB had he played long enough.

"Being with him on a daily basis for six months, and knowing how much work he was putting into it," reliever Barry Johnson said, "I don't think it's that big of a stretch to see him in a big-league uniform."

Instead, Jordan ended up quitting baseball and rejoining the Bulls, eventually leading the team to another three championships. It's tough to argue that he didn't make the right decision, but that does not mean we won't keep speculating about what Jordan's MLB career would have looked like.
