March 14, 1994 - Sports Illustrated takes issue with former NBA superstar Michael Jordan and his attempt to play MLB. MJ’s on the cover of S.I. again but in a far different light. The caption reads, "Bag It Michael! Jordan And The White Sox Are Embarrassing Baseball." From that day on, Jordan who was always very cooperative with the magazine, would never speak to them again.
