I received a TTM success from Joe Morgan (not the Hall of Famer, Joe Morgan - more on him later) recently on a couple nice cards. The above 1960 Topps was in my vintage box, and turned out pretty nice. You can see that the photo was taken at Yankee Stadium. The old Yankee Stadium, that is.
This 1990 Topps is also pretty cool, 30 years after the 1960. Funny how much the cards changed. By this time, Morgan was a manager for the Red Sox.
Morgan (b. 1930) played in the majors from 1959 to 1961 and 1964 for the Braves (Milwaukee), A's (Kansas City), Phillies, Indians and Cardinals. He had 36 hits, 2 home runs and a .193 batting average.
He managed in the majors from 1988 to 1991 for the Red Sox. His career managerial record was 301-262 (.535 winning %).
I mailed to Morgan on May 4 and got the cards back on May 12, for an 8-day TAT.
That Joe Morgan is not to be confused with this Joe Morgan, the Hall of Fame second baseman for the Big Red Machine. I did send a photo to the Hall of Fame a while back and got it signed for Chris. I need to get it in a frame for him, but I figured now was as good a time as any to post it here.
