Tough call. Roberto Alomar, Ryne Sanderg, and a handfull of others come to mind. You couldn't do too badly with his speed, power, and glove. No one would say, "Oh, dang it. I got stuck with Joe Morgan!" It is close and I would say that I couldn't argue the call if he is chosen. Not a bad analyst, either.

I would say that he's the second best, after Rogers Hornsby. Roberto Alomar is sort of a forgotten man; he shouldn't be. He was a perennial Gold-Glover and could do it all; Field, hit, hit for power, and steal bases. Joe at his best was more of an impact player than Robby, and Alomars career went south rather suddenly after leaving Cleveland for New York. He didn't have those last few typical Alomar seasons that would have padded his career stats a bit more. Ryno was terrific, but he didnt have a long enough prime.

Obviously, that's a tough one. But you could build a pretty good case for him. Morgan combined power and speed as few have done in major league history. He contributed to his team in a number of ways. And is it any coincidence that many of his teams seemed to be in the playoffs?
Obviously, Rogers Hornsby had some gaudy stats in a different era. Jackie Robinson didn't get to put in a full major league career. Me, I'd take Morgan on an all-time team and take my chances.

id say Hornsby. Ive heard people criticize his protection,yet offensively the stats do exactly no longer lie. From 1920-1929,his regular stats according to 162 video games have been a .382 regular,29 domicile runs,131 runs batted in and 9 stolen bases.He grow to be devoid of question the national League's terrific participant of the 1920's. For a extra ''modern'' decision,i might bypass with Morgan. From 1972-1977,Morgan gained 2 championships and a pair of NL MVP's together as averaging a .301 regular,24 domicile runs,ninety two runs batted in and seventy 3 stolen bases according to 162 video games. the two Sandberg and Alomar belong interior the communicate because of the fact of their protection prowess besides as their hitting. Sandberg grow to be a .3 hundred/25/25 (regular,domicile runs,stolen bases) in his top besides as a perennial gold glove winner. Alomar grow to be additionally a perennial gold glove winner besides as a .3 hundred hitter who grow to be stable for 15 homers and 40 steals a 12 months.

I dont know about ever. Theres Rogers Hornsby, Eddie Collins and several others, but certainly from the 60s onward he is. He was possibly the greatest all around player from the mid 60s through the 70s.
As an announcer he sucks.

I'm not sure Joe Morgan is second best of anything....except maybe promoting Barry Bonds..
In that 2 man race it would be
#1: Barry Bonds
#2 Joe Morgan
Its not worth watching Sunday night baseball just because you know at some point Joe Morgan is going to start his 3+ inning lobbying for Barry Bonds.

Ask your grandfather about a guy named Roger Hornsby. Jackie Robinson was pretty good too.

I don't know about that, but he could sure hit his share of home runs for a man who was only 5' 7"!!!
