Michael Jordan<\/h2>\n
Team(s):<\/strong> Birmingham Barons \nTenure:<\/strong> 1994-95 \nModel:<\/strong> Air Jordan 9<\/p>\n
During the early 1990’s, tumultuous circumstances would lead Michael Jordan to taking a brief sabbatical from the NBA. With the untimely death of his father weighing heavily on him, MJ decided to honor his late father by playing the sport that first drew his admiration: baseball. Spending time with Chicago White Sox\u00a0minor league team the Birmingham Barons, MJ would don his then latest Air Jordan silhouette in the Air Jordan 9.<\/p>\n

Deion Sanders<\/h2>\n
Team(s):<\/strong> New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, \u00a0and San Francisco Giants \nYears in the MLB:<\/strong> 1990-91, 2001 \nModel:<\/strong> Air Jordan 11<\/p>\n
Deion Sanders was a once in a lifetime talent that dominated both the football field and the baseball diamond. Becoming the only player to play in both a Super Bowl and World Series, along with playing two sports in one day, Sanders would affectionately proclaim that “football was his wife and baseball was his mistress.”<\/em>\u00a0All in all, the same could be said for the Nike and Jordan Brand during the late 90s, as Primetime shifted from his usual Nike Diamond Turf series to the Air Jordan 11, during his stint with the Reds.<\/p>\n
