20 Apr 2000: Jim Morris #63 of Tampa Bay Devil Rays pitching during the game against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park Camden Yards, Baltimore, Maryland. The Oriloles defeated the Devil Rays 8-4.
When he was 10-years-old, Jim “The Rookie” Morris got an autographed ball from Atlanta Braves’ legend Hank Aaron…and then he destroyed it.
I recently had the opportunity to record a podcast with Jim “The Rookie” Morris. It was an honor and a pleasure to speak with the man whose story was so incredible Disney turned it into a movie called “The Rookie” starring Dennis Quaid in 2002.
