part of it was the death of his father. the other reason was that he was so dam good and already had nothing left to prove in 1993, he had lost his passion for the game and decided to walk away.  lucky for all of us, the passion came back and so did he, to win 3 more titles. imo his baseball tenure wasn't a failure, but just another testament to his greatness

i can't believe jordan's father got murdered. that is incredibly f-d up and odd. rip mr. jordan

He quit basketball because he was tired of teammates' jealousy (mostly Horace Grant), him being criticized for his gambling activities, being exhausted from playing and giving up his life for fans, and of course his father's death was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Would be insane if he was the best baseball AND basketball player of all time.

This reminds me of Field of dreams.

@atshine09 Nah it wasn't completely unfamiliar, he played the sport during his youth, and was given opportunity to re-train and obviously he was always physically fit. He was strong, and fast. Anyways its amazing what he did though and that he could bat .200 even at double A. (Even though I think the pitchers and coaches obviously went really easy on him). Its still not easy.
