Sam DykstraHOST
And then they will be...
Sam DykstraHOST
Likely going up against either Rocket City, the Trash Pandas, or the Birmingham Barons.
Sam DykstraHOST
It's very close in the North Division.
Sam DykstraHOST
So even though nothing's settled yet, that should be a fun race to follow here in the final days of the AA Southern League season.
David GuttmanHOST
Yeah.
Chris MaderGUEST
And so Michael Jordan will be starting left field for the Birmingham Barons.
Chris MaderGUEST
Like, that's what's gonna happen.
David GuttmanHOST
Yeah.
Jacob HarkeyPANELIST
It would be like you saying, yeah, Michael Jordan, I know him.
Jacob HarkeyPANELIST
He's that outfielder for the Birmingham Barons.
Jacob HarkeyPANELIST
Some of you are too young, you're like, who's Michael Jordan? Michael Jordan was a basketball player.
Jacob HarkeyPANELIST
So anyways, Michael Jordan, yes, did he play baseball in the minor leagues? Was he an outfielder? He was all of those things, but he did so much more.
Brett BallantiniHOST
Sort of be a shame if they don't win the second half because they've had a pretty darn good season.
Brett BallantiniHOST
Birmingham, on the other hand, the Birmingham Barons.
Brett BallantiniHOST
have not really had much of a season, 55 and 72 currently.
Brett BallantiniHOST
However, through the quirks of the minor league schedule where you don't really want to waste anything, totally converse to rookie league, which is just like pony league play.
Brett BallantiniHOST
It's American Legion ball.
Brett BallantiniHOST
They want both halves to count.
Brett BallantiniHOST
And the good news is Birmingham is 29 and 29.
Brett BallantiniHOST
They're just two games back in first place.
Timothy GordonHOST
that are nice to people and get respect, and everyone knows that woman's good at what she does.
Timothy GordonHOST
See, Michael Jordan really didn't get much respect when he played for the Birmingham Barons because he's not the world's best or anywhere near one of the world's best baseball players.
Timothy GordonHOST
That's cool he could cross over some.
Timothy GordonHOST
Wasn't quite major league level, but people say he was sufficiently athletic.
Nick GowerHOST
But other than him, it's hard to see, you know, the immediate help.
Nick GowerHOST
But Michael, kind of turning a little bit on a more positive note, obviously, Caleb Bonhamer has had an incredible year in the minors most recently with, or currently, I should say, with AA Birmingham.
Nick GowerHOST
But recently, the White Sox have started playing him in center field.
Nick GowerHOST
And I know actually, and what it might have been the last time you were on this show, we talked about the idea of moving him to the outfield.
Mike WickettHOST
It just still looked really weird to see him in that jersey, though.
Mike WickettHOST
What was weirder to you? Was it weirder to you to see Jordan in a Wizards jersey or a Birmingham Barons jersey?
JoeAUDIENCE
I think...
JoeAUDIENCE
More in the Wizards jersey.
ChadHOST
After three championships and unfortunately the loss of his father, Michael Jordan retired from basketball.
ChadHOST
Which sport and which team did he compete in after his retirement? Was it A, the Chicago Bears for football, B, Team 2311 for racing, C, the Iowa Cubs for baseball, or D, the Birmingham Barons for baseball? That's correct.
ChadHOST
So unfortunately, he never got to play on the official major league team.
ChadHOST
So the White Sox are also owned by
Andy AthertonHOST
But, you know, in this movie, they do kind of poke fun at him, making, they kind of make fun of him with his ill-fated attempt at a baseball career.
Andy AthertonHOST
When he signed with the White Sox organization, was playing for the Birmingham Barons, and Did not play well at all.
Andy AthertonHOST
So they kind of, you know, what happens is we have this like this guy.
Andy AthertonHOST
He's a voice by Danny DeVito, no less.
