For the last three years former Missouri Tiger Jimmy McKinney has been playing professional basketball in Frankfort. Now he is being given a shot to play for a major professional sport franchise in the United States. That's not all that surprising. Coming out of high school the original J-Mac was one of the most highly touted recruits the Tigers had signed in years. Although his career at MU will most likely always be remembered as somewhat of a disappointment—because of circumstances mostly out of Jimmy's control—it's not that hard to imagine Jimmy catching on in the NBDL and eventually getting a chance in the Association.
The surprising thing is who it is that's giving Jimmy a shot and the team he's getting it with...Tony LaRussa. And the St. Louis Cardinals. Bryan Burwell explains this incredible story here.
