Because, if you haven't heard, this series may be Jordan's last. The complex derivative of keeping Jordan in the NBA probably involves the rehiring of coach Phil Jackson, who publicly feuds with both blowhard Bulls general manager Jerry Krause and cheapskate owner Jerry Reinsdorf. Jordan steadfastly refuses to play without Jackson. That could probably be resolved (suck it up for one more year, Krause). But Jordan, 35, most likely won't return without sidekick Scottie Pippen.

Reinsdorf had the Big Hurt, Thomas, at first base, and a bigger hurt in the empty upper deck. The best team in the history of basketball was not enough for him. "My first love is baseball," he says. "I will not rest easy until I win the World Series." And that would...
