Chicago Bulls rookie Denzel Valentine is in attendance for Wednesday's White Sox-Twins game to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at U.S. Cellular Field.

Furthermore, to get the game started, the No. 14 pick of the 2016 NBA draft donned a No. 45 White Sox jersey, the same number Valentine wore while playing at Michigan State.

Why is this notable? It's also the same number Bulls legend Michael Jordan wore during his brief stint with the White Sox's organization, a fact MLB's Twitter account was keenly aware of.

Coincidence? For sure. But still very cool.
