    Default Baseball Hall of Famer Joe Morgan dies at 77

    Hall of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan, a key member of the Cincinnati Reds' famed Big Red Machine, died Sunday. He was 77.

    Morgan died at his home in California, a family spokesman told The Associated Press on Monday.

    He had struggled with various health issues in recent years including a nerve condition, a form of polyneuropathy.

    Morgan was a two-time National League Most Valuable Player, a 10-time All-Star and a five-time Gold Glove Award winner. He is widely regarded as one of the best second basemen in baseball history and also gained renown for his 25-plus years as a broadcaster after his playing career.

    I will always remember him as the soundtrack to my Sunday nights in the summer.

    When he came up with the Houston Colt .45s in 1963, Morgan got the game-winning hit in one of his first games. Philadelphia manager Gene Mauch was so angry, he turned over the post-game meal in the Philly clubhouse, complaining they were just beat by "a Little Leaguer".
    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
