Special Quote of the Week- Joe Morgan (Our 800th Entry)




Today we feature a quote from legendary second base player Joe Morgan who played for several major league baseball teams, including the Reds, Phillies, Astros and Giants.

I remember watching him on tv with the Houston Astros in the summer of 1981, when I was 11 years old with a team that challenged the Los Angeles Dodgers, a team that was a significant baseball power at the time that had players like all-star first baseman Steve Garvey.

His daugther Ashley Morgan, a sophomore at Stanford University, is a stand-out collegiate gymnast with the second-ranked Cardinal. During her first meet at the University of Georgia, Ashley Morgan scored a 9.83.

The Cardinal won their meet over Michigan and Nebraska in a dual-meet in Ann Arbor over the weekend. On Friday, Stanford has a road meet with Arizona.

Here is the quote from Morgan who has also been prolific as a baseball announcer:

"I take my vote as a salute to the little guy, the one who doesn't hit 500 homeruns.."
