Item Description
2.5x3.5". The 1991 Upper Deck Baseball set consists of 800 cards. The company released the set in two separate series' - low-numbers (#s 1-700) and high-numbers (701-800). The cards are printed on slick paper stock, with a color image on the front and his name and team logo noted at the bottom. Card backs are also printed in full color with statistical data. Subsets include rookie stars (#s 1-26), top prospects (#'s 50-76), and four series of team cards scattered throughout the edition. Upper Deck also randomly inserted a special Michael Jordan card (#SP1) into packs.
On October 6, 1993, Jordan announced his retirement, saying that he lost his desire to play basketball. Jordan later said that the murder of his father three months earlier helped shape his decision. Jordan further surprised the sports world by signing a Minor League baseball contract with the Chicago White Sox on February 7, 1994. The White Sox were owned by Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf, who continued to honor Jordan's basketball contract during the years he played baseball. In 1994, Jordan played for the Birmingham Barons, a Double-A minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, batting .202 with three home runs, 51 RBI's, 30 stolen bases, 114 strikeouts, 51 walks, and 11 errors. His strikeout total led the team and his games played tied for the team lead. His 30 stolen bases were second on the team. He also appeared for the Scottsdale Scorpions in the 1994 Arizona Fall League, batting .252 against the top prospects in baseball.
