UNCW baseball coach recalls surreal days as Michael Jordan's minor-league baseball teammate

Posted May 12, 2020
Back in 1994, UNC-Wilmington baseball coach Randy Hood was just a minor league prospect trying to work his way up in the Chicago White Sox organization and then, for one summer, his world was turned on its side. Hood and Michael Jordan played, in the same high school conference, so Hood was acquainted with the legend. In fact, he was a huge fan. (WTVD)
