Not a baseball fan any longer but was a big fan as a kid, and the big red machine was my favorite NL team. He was 1 of the best 2Bs ever and was a good announcer. And had that strange elbow twitch awaiting a pitch.
The Reds' trade with the Astros to acquire Morgan ranks with the trade of Frank Robby to the O's a few years earlier as among the most unbalanced trades ever. I guess for the Reds they cancelled each other out over time. RIP, Joe.

I am most connected to Joe Morgan through firejoemorgan.com, which remains one of my favorite websites of all time.
Was run by a guy (Michael Schur) who wrote for SNL and went on to write for The Office, Parks and Rec, and others.

My bad. I remember Jimmy Wynn as well. Too many childhood stars leaving too early.
