JoeRudi26 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Jim Morris was a high school science teacher and baseball coach when he made a deal with his team, the Reagan County Owls. If they made it into the playoffs, he'd try out for the majors. Morris could throw a fastball at nearly 100 miles an hour. He just didn't realize how good he'd become. Working with the kids at Reagan County High School had helped HIM too. He was 35 when the Tampa Bay Devil Rays asked him to join their team. He wasn't necessarily in the draft, but he was 35 and gray coming into the majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleMo Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 So, uh, has anyone drafted a rookie with grey hair or are we gonna talk about movies and some odd player that has nothing to do with this question whatsoever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
