John Morris (outfielder)

John Daniel Morris (born February 23, 1961), is an American former professional baseball outfielder, who played seven seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, and California Angels.

[1] Morris attended Seton Hall University, where he played baseball for the Pirates under head coach Mike Sheppard.

[citation needed] He played in the Royals organization until May 1985, when he was traded to the Cardinals for outfielder Lonnie Smith.

[citation needed] In 1988, after coming back from surgery for a ruptured disc, Morris was limited to 38 at-bats, for the Cardinals.

When Morris led off the 10th inning, Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Mark Wohlers, hardly knew what hit him: Morris came through, hitting a game-winning walk-off home run, leading the Phillies to a 5–4 victory.
