Seems he was only in Texas half the season, then was largely done - got one of his last flames.

The cool thing about the Morgan double was the pitch was way over his head, and he just reached up and swatted it. I'm sure the pitcher was surprised (and pissed)

In reply to Joe Morgan too...

Shortly after the Senators moved to Texas and became the Rangers I watched Frank Howard hit a ball that went through the infield barely head high and then started climbing for a deep homer. Sounded like a pistol shot.

Joe Morgan too...

Man, I caught him as a kid in the Astrodome. That's forever... Swatted a double if I recall correct...
