Joe Morgan
Joe Morgan (September 19, 1943-October 11, 2020), also known as the greatest second baseman in history, was a cornerstone to the National League’s domination of the Cincinnati Reds 1970s when they won two World Series championships. In a classic match against the Boston Red Sox, Morgan’s tiebreaking single with two outs in the ninth inning of Game 7 in 1975 won the Reds the title, and the following year he spurred a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees.
