Joe Morgan story:
My brother and I were at Wrigley Watching the Cubs play the Astros. Can’t remember if Sosa was still playing or not. If so it would’ve been the tail end of his career.
Anyway, during batting practice my brother and I were standing on the fence about 15 feet past 3rd base. While we’re standing there, walking in from the outfield down the left field line is a couple of guys in suits. They make it all the way to us and we realize it’s Joe Morgan and someone else from the Sunday Night Baseball crew.
We say something to Joe, he comes over, we briefly exchange a few words, and my brother asks him to sign his program. As my brother goes to hand Morgan the marker, Joe just says “cap’s still on it” and just walks down the 3rd base line.
No one noticed him before he got to us, and I don’t think anyone said anything to him as he walked the rest of the way to home. We were both in our mid-to-late 20’s at the time, so perhaps he would’ve acted different if we were younger, but just thought that it was hilarious he big-timed is in that fashion when literally no one else knew who he was. Wasn’t even mad, was just funny to me.
