...the White Sox management commented that in Jordan's last months in Double A, he was making dramatic improvements both at the plate & in the field.
Their head of player development said he was a year away from major league quality.
So, while it's unlikely he would have been a star baseball player, he may not have been below average.
And, I'm not even a Sox fan!
Admittedly, I was a big Jordan fan.
I still say it's Bo, though. Made the all-star team in 2 sports!
