Michael Jordan Baseball Autograph

Hey Rob, I was living in Gilbert, AZ when Michael Jordan had retired from the NBA and was playing professional baseball. He spent a few weeks playing in the Arizona Fall Baseball League working with the coaches and getting some playing time to get ready for Spring Training.


Anyway, a few of us decided it was almost impossible to get his autograph at the games because of the large crowds. So one day I was waiting after the game and was able to spot Michael Jordan leaving the stadium in his car. I waited at the street corner, and when he pulled up he saw I was holding this baseball and a pen. He hurried and rolled down the window, signed for me, and took off when the light turned green! Score +1 for creativity and patience!
