==Minor league baseball player==
Pat Jordan grew up in Fairfield, Connecticut where he became a highly pursued baseball prospect after going 17-4 over three seasons for the Fairfield Prep Jesuits. On July 9, 1959, after being pursued by over 15 major league baseball organizations, he signed a $36,000 bonus with the Milwaukee Braves, which at the time was reported to be the highest amount given to any new player signed by the organization. He reported to the McCook Braves of the Nebraska State League where he played alongside teammates and future major leaguers Phil Niekro and Joe Torre. He struggled in the minors for three seasons, as chronicled in his memoir, ''A False Spring'', at which point he retired and returned home to Connecticut to pursue his writing career.〔(The Week That Was for July 19, 2009 ), Connecticut Post (July 19, 2009), accessed March 5, 2011.〕
