Remembering Joe Morgan: 'Symbol of all-around excellence'
“One of the best five-tool players our game has ever known and a symbol of all-around excellence. Joe often reminded baseball fans that the player smallest in stature on the field could be the most impactful. ... Joe was a close friend and an adviser to me, and I welcomed his perspective on numerous issues in recent years. He was a true gentleman who cared about our game and the values for which it stands. Those who knew him -- whether as a `Sunday Night Baseball’ broadcaster, a Hall of Fame board member or simply as one of the legends of our national pastime -- are all the better for it. ... Perhaps the finest second baseman who ever lived.” — Commissioner Rob Manfred
