We remember Joe Morgan (1943-2020)



We remember Joe Morgan, another member of The Baseball Hall of Fame.  He was born on this day in Bohnam, Texas and died in 2020.

Morgan broke with the expansion Houston Colt-45 in 1961 now the Astros.   He was traded to the Reds before the 1972 season and enjoyed incredible success:   MVP 1975 & 1976.    In 1990, Morgan was selected for The Hall of Fame:  2,517 hits, 1,650 runs scored, 268 home runs, 689 stolen bases and 1,865 walks!

Without question, one of the best second basemen in the game's history.  After baseball, he turned into a fabulous baseball TV analyst.   We will always his leadership role with The Big Red Machine.
