If you judged Jack Morris by his college baseball stats, you’d never think in a million years that he’d go on to become a dominant Major League Baseball pitcher, let alone a Hall of Famer.
But college stats don’t count, and the Minnesotan who came to BYU with electric raw stuff and control problems will be enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday.
He’ll earn the greatest honor in baseball, joining the all-time greats in Cooperstown. He’ll enter alongside some all-time greats as well, including Chipper Jones, Jim Thome, and Trevor Hoffman.

Morris took the long route to Cooperstown.
