After winning three NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan surprised many people by retiring from basketball. He had always loved baseball as a youth. Fortunately, the owner of the Bulls also owned the Chicago White Sox MLB team. As a favor to Jordan, this owner brought Jordan into his baseball franchise. Jordan played on one of the White Sox's minor league teams. He did not do well enough to ever play in the major leagues, so he retired from baseball and rejoined the Chicago Bulls. His time in baseball was rather short.

1901. The first year of operation of the American League was 1901. But at that time, they were not called the Red Sox. They were just called the Boston Americans.

The Cubs have not made the World Series since 1945 and have not won the World Series since 1908. But Cubs fans always hope and continue to hope that the day will come when they will win the World Series again. Perhaps 2010 will be the year, 102 years after they last won it. If not, there's always "wait till next year".

The Chicago White Sox team was enfranchised in 1894. However, they were known as the Sioux City Corn Huskers at that time. They later moved to St. Paul and finally settled on Chicago's South Side in 1900. The team was owned by Charles A. Comiskey who was the first baseman in his home town, Chicago. In 1900 the old American League formed, and Comiskey changed the team name to White Stockings. The White Stockings team was first managed by Clark C. Griffith, who nicknamed his players "Boy Wonders," and his team lived up to that name. That year, the White Sox won the American League Pennant.

The American League (a minor League up to that point) declared itself part of the Major Leagues in 1901 and the White Stockings won the very first A.L. Pennant..

Chicago Tribune Sports Writers immediately began calling the White Stockings the White Sox for short. The organization OFFICIALLY changed the name to White Sox before the 1904 season, making the Chicago White Sox the FIRST Sox team, as the Red Sox were known as the Boston Americans until 1908.

There are a few cards that are considered to be Michael Jordan's Rookie baseball card. Michael Jordan never made it to the Major leagues, or the Chicago White Sox, and could not have been named Rookie of the year. His numbers in the minors would not have won him this award at that level as well. If you could list the number of the card, and the company that issued the set, I could help you out with a value. See Related Links for values of Michael Jordan baseball cards.
