The Cincinnati Reds today announced they would be wearing a memorial patch in 2021 in memory of Hall of Famer and two-time National League MVP Award winner Joe Morgan.
Cincinnati will wear a black circle with Morgan’s number 8 in white on the right sleeve of each of their jerseys throughout the upcoming 2021 season.
Morgan spent eight seasons with the Reds from 1972 through 1979. During his time in the Queen City, Morgan made the All-Star team every single season, won two MVPs, five Gold Gloves, and helped lead the Big Red Machine to Back-to-Back World Series titles in 1975 and 1976.
Throughout his 22-year career, Morgan batted .271 with 2517 hits, 268 home runs, and was a ten-time All-Star playing for the Houston Colt .45s and Astros, San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, and Oakland Athletics in addition to the Reds.
Morgan died last October at the age of 77.
