RIP Joe Morgan
Joe Morgan died today at the age of 77.
He was the best second baseman ever and played on the best team ever. I had the privilege of seeing him, and The Big Red Machine play several times including Game 2 of the '76 World Series sweep of the Yankees.

Re: RIP Joe Morgan
I’ve been a Reds fan since 1975. I just picked them as my team and have followed them ever since. The Big Red Machine was an unbelievable collection of talent and fun to watch. Morgan with the chicken wing motion in the batters box was cool. It’s tough seeing these old superstars dying off, especially since it only seems like a few years ago when they played. I used to tune into the Reds broadcasts on the stereo living in eastern NC. On a clear night it came in pretty good from WLW in Cincinnati.

Re: RIP Joe Morgan
Brock, Seaver, Morgan.... ouch. Wasn’t a Reds fan, but had to respect that team because of players like Morgan, Bench, and Concepcion.

Re: RIP Joe Morgan
I saw that news earlier this morning - as ESPN.com was loading I saw his face and said - Oh No! and the rest of the page loaded to exactly what I was afraid but expecting - He was a great player. It is hard to think of a better 2Bman in the modern era - perhaps Ryne Sandberg (probably others I'm not remembering) - I texted 4 of my hometown buddies this morning (buddies since 4th grade) back when baseball was king (around late 1800s) in the 50s and 60s and made a similar point that it was sad that we are losing so many of our early heroes...

Re: RIP Joe Morgan
Another generation is passing from the scene. It's sobering for some of us.
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

Re: RIP Joe Morgan
Yep - and for those who didn't know - Joe Nuxhall is the youngest guy to ever play in MLB - he was 15 when he made his first appearance - LHPbigdaddyg wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 6:37 pmOh yeah and Marty BrennemanWVAPPeer wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 4:14 pmDoes Joe Nuxhall ring a bell :>)bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 2:34 pmI’ve been a Reds fan since 1975.

Re: RIP Joe Morgan
Trivia: the broadcaster for Reds baseball was Marty Brennamen. He started out in Salisbury, NC broadcasting Rowan American Legion Baseball. He was great and the team was always battling Wilmington Post 51 for the state title year in and year out. Marty would call the games on WSTP/WRDX radio and pretty much the entire county would hang on every call.bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 2:34 pmI’ve been a Reds fan since 1975.

We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.
