Michael Jordan Playing Baseball

In August 1994, near the end of the baseball season, Jordan defended his two-sport stab: "What I've done is give inspiration to people. Believe in what you believe in and make an attempt at it; don't give up before you even try. ... For all the criticism I've received for doing what I'm doing, it's only an opportunity that I've taken advantage of. If you're given an opportunity to take advantage of something you truly love and dream about, do it."
