Remember When Michael Jordan’s Ceremonial First Pitch Flew WAY Over Sammy Sosa’s Head? December 8, 2017, by Michael Cerami Baseball Is Fun Back in September of 1998 (remember that freakin’ season?), the Chicago Cubs found themselves in a one-game playoff against the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field to clinch their first playoff appearance (as the Wild Card team) since 1989. So, in order to maximize the positive vibes, the Cubs called upon Chicago sports legend Michael Jordan – who was just months removed from his sixth NBA Championship title with the Bulls – to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Pitching to Sammy Sosa at Wrigley Field in one of the biggest Cubs games in a decade, Jordan came out wearing a Sosa jersey … and promptly sailed one over the slugger’s head! #tbt 🐐 at #WrigleyField with #SamySosa 2️⃣3️⃣〰️2️⃣1️⃣✴ (at Wrigley Field) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3_0rCNnoqB1Jo6Vs5YJM32MNc6TjO10KC70fA0/?igshid=zjpho53hncp4
