This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen talk with “The Rookie” Jim Morris.
The science teacher-turned-pitcher talks about his journey from the classroom to the Major Leagues, getting jeered at Yankee Stadium and, of course, hanging out with Dennis Quaid while his life got the Disney treatment. Also…Jim talks about being hazed as a rookie and hanging out with Fred McGriff and Jose Canseco.
