good talk

Congratulations to Jack Morris (b. May 16, 1955 in St. Paul, Minnesota) on his election to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.  Jack pitched in the Majors from 1977 to 1994 (Detroit, 1977 to 1990), Minn. (1991), Toronto (1992 to 1993) and Cleveland (1994), and was 256-186, being on 4 World Series Champions, the 1984 Tigers, the 1991 Twins, and the 1992 and 1993 Blue Jays.  Jack's 1991 10-Inning Complete Game Shutout of the Atlanta Braves (1-0) will live forever (See My Blog for Oct. 31, 2016).  Jack's last season was in 1994 with the Cleveland Indians, doing well (10-6) in a strike-shortened season, but with the complication that Morris was tired of pitching, and instead wanted to attend to his farm in Minnesota, wishing to only fly-in for games, pitch, then fly-back to his farm.  The Indians wanted Morris to be with the team as a mentor to the younger pitchers and a good example for them, Jack's wanting to bring-in his precious-crops was of no concern to them, they thought that with the money he was being paid that he could hire others to bring-in his stupid-crops.  Jack's career ended sort-of strangely, but illustrious nonetheless
