Baseball Hall of Famer Joe Morgan, a two-time World Series champion and two-time National League MVP All Star, died Sunday. He was 77. CBS Sports' Jim Bowden confirmed the news
Morgan played 22 MLB seasons, beginning his career with the Houston Astros (then the Colt .45s) in 1963. Morgan then made his way to the Cincinnati Reds, where he became a key member of the Big Red Machine, winning back-to-back World Series titles in 1975 and 1976. Morgan also won back-to-back NL MVP Awards both of those years.
Morgan was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 1990.
I think you are mixing up your Cesars. Cedeno was with Morgan in Houston when Morgan was traded to the Reds and was still with Houston when Morgan went back as a free agent. Cesar Geronimo was with the Big Red Machine teams (and came to the Reds in the same trade as Morgan.)
Cedeno did spend a couple of years with the Reds after Morgan was gone.
