John Wallace Morris was a left-handed relief pitcher who spent parts of eight seasons in the majors between 1966 and 1974. A native of Lewes, Delaware, he broke in with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1966, then pitched for the Baltimore Orioles in 1968 before being taken by the Seattle Pilots in the 1968 American League expansion draft. He split 1969 between the Pilots and Triple-A, then continued with the franchise after its move to Milwaukee, pitching for the Brewers in 1970 and 1971. He closed his career with the San Francisco Giants from 1972 through 1974. All but ten of his 132 career appearances came out of the bullpen. His career record was 11-7, with a 3.95 ERA and 137 strikeouts. He was inducted into the Delaware Sports Hall of Fame in 1987.
