Joe Leonard Morgan (September 19, 1943-October 11, 2020) is the only second baseman in baseball history to win back-to-back Most Valuable Player award when he accomplished it in 1975 and 1976. Joe Morgan was a threat in every facet of the game, with excellent defensive skills, blazing speed and surprising power for a relatively small player. Morgan ranks third all-time in walks behind Babe Ruth and Ted Williams. Signed as a free agent by the Houston Colt .45s and spending nine years with the Colts/Astros (1963, 1964-1971, 1980), Morgan fell out of favor with the Astros management and was sent to Cincinnati, where he spent eight seasons (1972-1979) in one of the most lop-sided trades in history. Morgan made an immediate impact on the Big Red Machine line-up, hitting .292, scoring 122 runs and walking 115 times (both league leads) and helping the Reds to the 1972 National League pennant. The ten-time All-Star helped the Reds win the World Series in 1975 and 1976 and was the league’s MVP both seasons. Joe also won five Gold Gloves. Joe Morgan retired with 2,517 hits, 1,650 runs scored, 1,133 RBI, 689 stolen bases and a career .271 batting average. Joe Leonard Morgan was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990.
