Baseball and football
Jordan was a sports star at Milford Mill Academy in Randallstown, Maryland.
After graduating from the University of Richmond, Jordan embarked on a dual
baseball and football career. He was drafted in the first round of the 1988
draft by the St. Louis Cardinals and also signed a contract with the NFL's
Atlanta Falcons.
While climbing the ladder in the Cardinals' minor league system, Jordan played
defensive back for the Falcons from 1989 to 1991. In 1990, he lead all
cornerbacks with 193 tackles. He had five interceptions and four sacks in his
brief career, but Jordan decided to give up football to concentrate on baseball.
St. Louis Cardinals
Jordan made his Major League debut on April 8, 1992 with the Cardinals. He
served mostly as a utility outfielder during his first three seasons, but in his
first full year, in 1995, he had a breakthrough season. His stats included 145
hits, 20 doubles, and a .296 batting average in 490 at-bats. He also flashed his
power by hitting 22 home runs and 81 RBIs. He built on his success in 1996,
hitting .310 with 104 RBIs and a .349 on base percentage, playing mostly as the
right fielder for the Cardinals. In the postseason that year, Jordan hit .333 in
the NLDS and had a game-winning home run in Game 4 of the 1996 NLCS.
Shrugging off a relatively disastrous and injury-riddled 1997 season in which he
hit .234 with no home runs, Jordan had possibly the best season of his career in
1998, his last year with St. Louis. He scored 100 runs, saw his power return
with 25 home runs, and batted a career-high .316, with an outstanding .534
slugging percentage.
Atlanta Braves
His stats in 1998 helped earn Jordan a $21.3 million contract with the Atlanta
Braves. Jordan had a strong April and May to help carry the Braves early in the
1999 season. This propelled him to his only All-Star appearance. He finished the
season with 100 runs again and drove in 115 runs. Jordan was a standout in the
1999 NLDS for the Braves against the Houston Astros. He batted .471, had the
game-winning double in the 12th inning of Game 3, and drove in seven of
Atlanta's 18 runs during the series. He contributed two home runs in the 1999
NLCS, but went 1 for 13 in his only World Series appearance.
Jordan's batting average and RBI totals dipped in 2000, but in 2001 Jordan hit
25 homers with a .295 average and was superb in the final games of the season,
helping to push the Braves to their tenth-straight division title after a tight
race with the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets.
Later career
He was involved in a blockbuster trade on January 15, 2002. Atlanta sent him to
the Los Angeles Dodgers with pitcher Odalis Pérez for Gary Sheffield.
After a solid season in 2002 in which he hit .285, injuries significantly
decreased Jordan's playing time in 2003. The aging Jordan signed a one-year
contract with the Texas Rangers in 2004, but only batted .222 and again missed
chunks of time with injuries. In 2005, he returned to the Braves, but he spent
most of the season on the disabled list with left knee inflammation while rookie
sensation Jeff Francoeur took over in right field. Relying more on his veteran
savvy than athletic ability at this point, he made the team again in 2006, but
was limited to a platoon role at first base before again going on the disabled
list. Jordan supposedly retired after the season, although as of October 31,
2007, Jordan says he is interested in returning to the Braves to play in
2008.[citation needed]
Post Baseball
Jordan has served as a TV pre-game analyst for the Atlanta Braves on FSN/SportSouth.
He is active in the Atlanta community with the Brian Jordan Foundation and
authored the semi-autobiographical children's book "I Told You I Can Play!"[1]
