Barry Bonds?
I think it was Michael Jordan! Of course, since it's still March, that means he never made it to the big leagues. But I do think he played with the Birmingham Barons for a while, if I remember correctly...
Now, about that Mrs. Duck, did she have human children or little quackers?
Okay, something tells me that an entire book of comical Tammy Faye quotes could be published!
JD is probably right, I forgot about MJ's stint with his first comeback. But my guess was the "Bo Knows" guy, Bo Jackson?
And it's Michael Jackson...I mean, Jordan. Michael Jordan :)
Kim, not a bad guess, since he's been playing ball forever!
JD, nice work! At least he tried for the big leagues. If I recall, he wasn't all that great for the Birmingham Barons. And very funny about the ducks!
Jodi, Bo Jackson was a great guess! I'd totally forgotten about those "Bo knows" ads, but here's one I dug up online:
