That's correct, ESPN Baseball analyst Joe Morgan received an honorary doctorate from California State University- East Bay. We now have the pleasure of calling Morgan, Dr. Joe.

"A good base stealer should make the whole infield jumpy. Whether you steal or not, you're changing the rhythm of the game. If the pitcher is concerned about you, he isn't concentrating enough on the batter."

So what...

Say what you want about his "skills" on a microphone. The guy is still one of the all-time greats and a wonderful ambassador for the game.

He's not a dumb guy he just isn't as articulate as he could be -or as an audience he isn't talking to would wish him to be....

Or as they say at Casa de Stiles: He's NOT Tim McCarver!!!

When's Tim getting his, seriously? I thought DeVry gave out honorary degrees?

Ya to Morgan's credit he isn't McCarver: McCarver: Now when a college, or in my case Clown School offers you an honorary doctorate it's a high honor because a school has chosen to make you a doctor, even though you aren't one. So it's important to treat the ceremony as a very serious event because you are getting a title that you didn't go to school for. Remember that this doesn't give you a license to practice medicine.

I didn't need an honorary degree to do that for you! I just needed this guy:

Off topic: Turkey just rallied from 2-0 down in an elimination game against the Czech Republic in Euro 2008, and have scored 3 goals in 25 minutes, 2 in the last 4 minutes of the game and are up 3-2 in stoppage time.


And the Turkish goalkeeper has been sent off just now.

Turkey are through, they scored 3 times in 15 minutes (my mistake), as I bow to my dad who said they were not dead yet. The greatest and most remarkable comeback in the European Championships you will ever see.</threadjackover>

Pretty egregious to call Joe Morgan a racist without backing it up.

I agree, LA! Joe Morgan has done more for baseball AFTER his career ended. The fact that he went back and got his degree is not only commendable, I think that other pro athletes should follow his lead.
