VIDEO WEEK: Kevin Mitchell’s bare-handed catch
Reply
It’s VIDEO WEEK on the Baseball Continuum!
In 1994, then-baseball player Michael Jordan visited the All-Star Game. It provided us with two indelible images:
1) Confirmation that Cal Ripken Jr. was nearly as tall as Michael Jordan (going by listed heights, he was only two inches shorter than MJ).
2) Confirmation that Ken Griffey Jr. was such a big star that even the most famous athlete in the world would go out of his way to get his autograph.
