2002 Fleer Rival Factions Joe Morgan Game-Worn Pants w/Bill Mazeroski ⭐
In 1971, at the tail end of Bill Mazeroski's career, his Bucs got the better of the Reds going all the way to win the 1971 World Championship.
When Morgan was added to the Reds in 1972, The Big Red Machine was born and the Reds got the better of the Bucs until The Family arrived in Pittsburgh in 1979.
Both are Hall of Famers and each is iconic within his organization.

My vintage card of the week: The 1965 Topps Joe Morgan rookie card. I love this card for several reasons. First, I’d argue that Joe Morgan was the greatest second baseman of all time. Second, I love this card because of the Colt .45s hats. The Astrodome opened in ’65 and they became the Astros, so this card represents a nice piece of baseball history. But the biggest reason I love this card is my fond memories of Joe Morgan. I don’t remember seeing him play ball, but he played an important part in my falling in love with baseball because of the years he spent covering Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN. Tuning in every week was an important part of my youth. Hat tip to Joe.

Joe Morgan Autograph Photo 12x17 ⭐ feat. Roberto Clemente
I knew that I must have this photo at first sight. Two of my favorite players growing up.
Roberto Clemente sliding safe into second base with Joe Morgan applying the tag late.
The umpire is right there, on the scene, with the emphatic "SAFE" call.
On November 29, 1971, the Reds and Astros completed one of the best or worst trades in baseball history, depending on which side you're pulling for.
The Astros sent future legend and Hall of Famer, Joe Morgan (and others) to Cincinnati for Lee May, Tommy Helms, and Jimmy Stewart.😮

With the MVP being announced today will Shohei go back to back like Joe Morgan in ‘75 and ‘76. Love the ‘76 Topps set great photos and colorful card style.
