Let me say that Joe Morgan has always been my favorite baseball player of all time. That arm flapping and his clutch play. I loved watching him play.

When he was playing for the Astros he swung badly at a pitch and struck out. When he returned to the dugout his teammate Norm Miller approached pretending to use a bat as a microphone and began to interview him.

Miller: Joe you seemed to struggle with that pitch and that pitcher can you tell me what happened?

Morgan: Norm, let me explain. Do you know what the difference is between a curveball and a mf...... curveball?

Miller: No Joe can you tell me?

Morgan: You see with a curveball you can pickup the spin of the ball, see it, and hit it out of the park. Now your mf...... curveball looks just like a fastball until it crosses the plate where it falls off the table, you swing at it, and it's a mf...... strike three.

Love that Joe.
