It’s amazing that Jordan is influencing people on the baseball diamond. That just goes to show how polarizing of a figure he was. Should I wear his iconic 23? Nah, I’m gonna wear 45 since that’s the number he wore with the Sox. It really speaks to how Jay is embracing the Chicago culture. Pretty damn cool if you ask me.
