Watched him as a kid in Houston when he played for the Astros. I was a 2nd baseman in little league, so I was a fan on my team's second baseman. RIP Joe.

Wow. What a crappy year.

I mean, when I first became a baseball fan I realized that guys like Frank Robinson and Harmon Killebrew and Hank Aaron were old. But Morgan was young! He was immortal, like me!

Also, maybe the best second baseman ever.

He was a great player and a good broadcaster. RIP.

My dad was a lifelong Reds fan. I remember him listening to Marty and Joe call the games on a little black GE pocket transistor radio. Alll those 1970's "big red machine" players were household names when I was a kid, Joe Morgan for sure. RIP.

I grew up in Fairfield....just a little North of Cincy.

My first MLB game was the Big Red Machine against the Pirates in '75.
What a great time and place for a kid to be a baseball fan.

Joe Morgan was a class act and a true gentleman on top of being the greatest 2cd baseman ever.

RIP #8

Great 2nd basemen, top 3 worst announcer in any sport.
