R.I.P Joe Morgan

 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.


A look back at his career and life from the MLB Network...

Joe Morgan was a great one who will be missed by his fans, friends and family.
