Baseball great Joe Morgan has passed away. Many considered Joe Morgan one of the best second baseman to ever play baseball. Joe enjoyed a Hall of Fame career and was a big part of the Big Red Machine of the 70s. The argument for Joe to be considered one of the best second baseman could start with being named a 10-time All Star. His five Gold Glove awards help.
He was on two World Series winning teams. He was the National League MVP in both Championship seasons. His number has been retired by the Cincinnati Reds. He was elected the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990.

This is sad. He always spoke highly of Nellie Fox, who the Colt .45s got from the White Sox specifically so he could work with Joe and prepare him to be their second baseman. Joe was a hell of a player, and the baseball world is a sad place today...
