Chicago Sports: 10 athletes who looked odd in different uniforms

8. Michael Jordan (Baseball)

Michael Jordan in the prime of his career left the Chicago Bulls to play baseball after the death of his father. Jordan retired to pursue his shot in the MLB. Luckily for him, the same guy who owned the Bulls owned the Chicago White Sox.

For those who weren’t alive when this happened, including me, that would be if LeBron James retired after the 2012-13 NBA Championship to go play for the Dallas Cowboys, a rumor that didn’t die down until he returned to the Cavaliers in 2015.

Either way, fans always debate if Jordan would have stayed with the Bulls, they could have won eight straight championships, not three-peating two separate times.

At 31, it turned out that Jordan didn’t have the skill to make it in the MLB. He tried for a season and never made it out of the minor leagues. He’d end this nightmare for Bulls fans and join the team again in 1995-96.

They’d go on to win that NBA Championship that season, and the following two.

Jordan decided to take his talents to the Washington Wizards after retiring for the second time. Some people believed it was his ego proving he could win somewhere else when he couldn’t. Some thought he did this for a chance to get into owning a basketball team.

Now, he owns the Charlotte Bobcats.
