Yeah. In barely six weeks, we’ve lost Tom Seaver, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford, and now Joe Morgan.

Saw an excellent baseball game last night between Tampa Bay and Houston. Yet none of these current players hit the emotional cord that each of those players did when they played.

All players whom I admired as a boy. I still have their Strat-O-Matic cards. I pulled out my old set to play with my nephew when he dropped by for a visit this summer.
He was fascinated with how kids played before there were computers.

Morgan was a heckuva player. I mainly remember him from his Reds' days. Went on to get a degree too.

Watching their beloved sport turn into a mouthpiece for communists is killing them . . .
