1967 Topps #337 Joe Morgan
About Joe Morgan
Card #337, a series-4 base issue, sits on Morgan's 1966 season: a .285 average, 60 runs and 42 RBI in 122 games, plus his first All-Star selection. The games he missed were the story. On June 25, 1966, a Lee Maye line drive in batting practice broke his kneecap and kept him out for 40 games, a stretch in which Houston went 11-29 without its second baseman. The following spring, on April 3, 1967, he married his high-school girlfriend, Gloria Stewart, and the couple settled into a home in Houston.
Joe Morgan was a 5-foot-7 second baseman who became one of the most complete players in baseball history. Signed by the Houston Colt .45s out of Oakland City College in 1962, he broke into the majors in September 1963, took over as Houston's regular second baseman in 1965, and finished second in National League Rookie of the Year voting. He spent nine years in Houston, making All-Star teams in 1966 and 1970, before a November 1971 trade sent him to the Cincinnati Reds. In Cincinnati, Morgan became the igniter of the Big Red Machine, teaming with Pete Rose and Johnny Bench to win back-to-back World Series titles in 1975 and 1976 while claiming the National League Most Valuable Player award both years, the first National League second baseman to win it in consecutive seasons. He drove in the winning run in Game 7 of the 1975 World Series, won five straight Gold Gloves from 1973 through 1977, made ten All-Star teams overall, and finished his 22-year career with 2,517 hits, 268 home runs and 689 stolen bases. Nicknamed "Little Joe," he flapped his back elbow at the plate, a habit suggested by Houston teammate Nellie Fox. Morgan was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990, his first year on the ballot, and later became a network broadcaster.
