It was the most improbable career pivot in the history of professional sports, and the Chicago White Sox signed him to a minor league deal that led to his 1994 assignment to the Birmingham Barons, the White Sox's Double-A affiliate in the Southern League. Jordan played the full 1994 season in Birmingham, showing the athleticism and competitive drive that had made him a basketball legend, while putting in the work of a genuine minor league player on a baseball field. The sport and the hobby took notice immediately: Michael Jordan baseball cards became instant conversation pieces, collectible for who he was rather than what he accomplished on the diamond. This 1994 Upper Deck Collector's Choice #661 is one of those cards – his official licensed baseball rookie card, graded PSA 9 Mint, presenting in near-perfect condition with only the most minor of separations from a perfect grade.
