The short answer is no, but a nice try.
Wrong Jerry
1992 Olympics won but was that the personal best for any of the players.
The Birmingham Barons are not a MLB team.

Jordan did play in an MLB exhibition game at Wrigley Field in April 1994.

Danny Ainge and Ron Reed both played in the NBA and MLB. I think there are others.

He played for the Chicago White Sox of MLB in 1962 and 1963 and in the NBA for the Detroit Pistons from 1962 through 1968 and for the New York Knicks from 1968 to 1974.

Who am I?

Just a hint. I have not been mentioned yet.

No one will be able to deny that I am unique.
