COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- It's been more than two months since Jack Morris was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Modern Baseball Era Committee, yet as he walked through the historic building for the first time on Tuesday, the reality of it all seemed to finally set in.
"You walk into this room, it's like the Holy Grail," Morris said, sitting in the middle of the Plaque Gallery. "It's what baseball dreams are made of for every kid. Now I get to be a part of the group. It's overwhelming."
Morris -- accompanied by his wife, Jennifer, and their 13-year-old son, Miles -- was given a private two-hour tour of the Hall of Fame on Tuesday morning, getting a first-hand look at the game's great history.
