Jim "The Rookie" Morris
Baseball players are known for having great stories to tell, and our guest Jim 'The Rookie' Morris is no exception.
Listen in to hear about his time in baseball, from his childhood to being a 1st round (4th overall) draft pick of the Milwaukie Brewers. You'll hear Jim talk about the devastating arm injuries that forced him to hang up his cleats just a couple years into his pro career and about his time as a high school physics teacher and baseball coach.
You'll also hear about his spectacular comeback at the age of 35, which took him all the way to the Major Leagues. Jim describes debuting in Arlington Texas, about striking out legendary players like Hall Of Famer Frank Thomas. And of course he talks extensively about the Disney film 'The Rookie' starring Dennis Quaid which tells the story of his life up until 1999.
There is so much packed into this episode that you'll wish you could be part of the conversation. You'll find out the real reason he left the game of baseball a second time in the year 2000, about the books he's written and the speaking engagements he does now that are taking him all around the world. We even discuss such topics as Pete Rose's lifetime ban from MLB, about his encounter with legends like Hank Aaron both as a 10 year kid and then later in life. We also discuss famed Milwaukie Brewers broadcaster "Mr. Baseball" Bob Uecker, and the Dodgers' Vin Scully.
