message: Morgan, an Emmy-award-winning broadcaster for ESPN earned his bachelor's degree from California State University of Hayward in 1990.
The Baseball Hall of Famer and two-time National League "Most Valuable Player" accepted another honor-from academia-when presented with an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters from California State University, East Bay on June 14, 2008
Morgan, who promised his parents before signing a professional baseball contract that he would finish his college education when his playing career was over, got emotional when Cal State East Bay President Mo Qayoumi conferred the honorary doctorate degree upon him before the several thousand attending the commencement.

message: For such a great guy, it sucks that theres a whole section on the lawsuit, which is a minor and insignificant part of his life. smooth0707 (talk) 02:43, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *To reiterate like I said above, that LAPD section was pretty misleading and informative. It was a small piece of trivia that was made into its own section. If anyone thinks they can rework this info subtlety back into the article, here is the removed text: In 1988, Morgan was detained at Los Angeles International Airport, being accused as a drug dealer. Joe Morgan settles 5-year lawsuit against city of L.A - ex-baseball star to receive $800,000 for being assaulted by police officers He was released when the Los Angeles Police Department realized their mistake in identity. Morgan filed a civil suit when he was denied the opportunity to file a formal complaint against the police department and was awarded $800,000 in 1993 by the Los Angeles City Council. smooth0707 (talk) 21:06, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure what the purpose of the long quote about Bill James and Roger Hornsby is supposed to prove. James bias against Hornsby is widely known to have nothing to do with sabremetrics except for some isolated fielding metrics, and is mainly related to stories of Hornsby being a complete prick. In statistical circles he is also long considered to have been some kind of personal grudge against Hornsby. I distinctly remember James saying that Hornsby was perhaps the biggest "horse's ass" in baseball history. Quadzilla99 (talk) 10:00, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
