I had to stop reading at the Michael Jordan baseball part. Everything after that wasn't believable anymore. He wasn't that bad at baseball[1].

He was a mediocre AA player... compared to his basketball skill, he did absolutely suck at baseball.

He wasn't that bad at baseball compared to a random person or a minor league player.

He was that bad at baseball compared how good he was a basketball.

The article seemed correct IMHO,

> What happened when he switched from basketball to baseball? He went from being an MVP champion to being a middling player in the minor leagues. 2 years later, he was back to playing basketball.
