Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"In a move that is unheard of today, (Mike) Morgan made his Major League debut a few days after he was drafted against Baltimore as a teenager without any minor league experience [Straight to the Big Leagues]. Not even Stephen Strasburg went directly from San Diego State to the Washington Nationals. 'I gradated from high school and went on a senior trip. I got drafted and Charlie Finley (A's owner) had me on an airplane to Oakland. Four or five days later I was starting against Baltimore,' Morgan said. 'I got a standing ovation, and had my dad, my mom and my sister sitting behind the dugout. It was an amazing experience.'" - Warner, Neil K. Staff Writer. The Daily Herald: Former MLB pitcher Morgan's baseball knowledge rubbing off at Pleasant Grove. 5 August 2010.

MIKE MORGAN ROOKIE CARD

Baseball Almanac Collection

Did you know that Mike Morgan played for twelve different teams over those twenty-five years (prompting friends to nickname him The Nomad), tying the Major League record for most Major League teams played for (12), set previously by Deacon McGuire? In 2012, Octavio Dotel took the field with his thirteenth team, breaking their record, but his record fell in 2019! Do you know what pitcher holds that record today? [Answer]

In 1985, Matt Young lost nineteen games, the first Seattle Mariners pitcher to lead all other American League (AL) twirlers in games lost. A year later, Mike Morgan lost seventeen games, the first Mariners right-handed pitcher to lead all other AL twirlers in games lost. [Year by Year Leaders for Games Lost]
