Rookie: When Michael Jordan Came to the Minor Leagues

Here's something a little different...this covers the gap between the time Michael announces his retirement in October 1993 to the time he rejoins the Bulls. A pretty interesting book, but as a previous reviewer mentioned, it chronicles the author's frustration to get access to Michael. Michael's baseball experiment was probably fun for him, and granted it didn't go too well, but at least he enjoyed himself trying to be a pro calibre baseball player, which clearly he is not. I think MJ just wanted a break from hoops to do something else and come back when he was upset about the Major League Baseball lockout in 1994, which I think played a major factor in his decision to return to the NBA.

not at all what i expected. i started reading and two hours later i was through the whole book. jim patton did a wonderful job of making you feel like you experienced what he wrote about. very enjoyable to read.
