About Jack Morris, Hall of Famer

Jack Morris was a dominant starting pitcher who spent eighteen seasons in Major League Baseball, primarily with the Detroit Tigers. Armed with a fastball, slider, and forkball, the five-time All-Star won 254 games and appeared in three World Series championships with Detroit, Minnesota, and Toronto. Morris excelled in October, going undefeated in postseason play for both the 1984 Tigers and 1991 Twins. His crowning achievement came in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series, when the 36-year-old threw ten innings of shutout baseball to lead Minnesota to victory. He earned World Series MVP honors that year and joined Sandy Koufax as the only pitchers to win the Babe Ruth Award twice. Morris was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018.
