Independent Baseball Team Offers Jordan Contract

Michael Jordan is being offered the chance to give baseball another try.  The Joliet Slammers of the Independent Frontier League have offered the NBA legend a maximum 16-hundred-dollar per month contract.  General Manager Chris Franklin says the team is serious about wanting him to play, but at the very least wants to retire his number-45 in a baseball stadium.  The now 50-year-old Jordan briefly retired from the Chicago Bulls in the 1990's to pursue a career in baseball.  Franklin says there is an age limit in the Frontier League, but they are willing to pay the fine to have Jordan play.
