The days of reckoning have arrived for Michael Jordan in his quest to carve out a baseball career.
After weeks of private indoor workouts, Jordan goes on display outdoors today in front of the media at the Chicago White Sox spring training camp in Sarasota, Fla.
Monday, a throng of reporters couldn't catch up with Jordan as the three-time NBA Most Valuable Player zoomed from Ed Smith Stadium in his red Corvette. The question remains: Can Jordan catch up with a major league fastball?
Pitchers and catchers report Wednesday, and fans can see Jordan, beginning Thursday - his 31st birthday - at the first scheduled workout.
Jordan has signed a contract with the White Sox's Class AAA Nashville affiliate and insists he's serious about seeing this challenge through to the end.
Will the end come sooner than later or can Jordan accomplish new feats in cleats? The sports world is watching.
