The 1994 season was historic for the Barons as former NBA superstar Michael Jordan switched sports and was assigned to the club on March 31st. Jordan's popularity helped shatter the club's season attendance record (467,867). Jordan batted .202 with 3 homers and 51 RBI and stole a club-leading 30 bases. On the inside collar is the "WILSON" manufacturers size "48" tag with wash instructions. Across the front of the jersey is the city name "BIRMINGHAM" in script. Below and on back is the player number "45." All lettering and numbering is done in black on white tackle twill. The jersey is autographed on front in black marker and rates a 9. The jersey shows game use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. Accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication as well as a very detailed LOA describing how the jersey was originally sourced through the Chicago White Sox organization in 1994.
