Personal Recollection

Jerry Morris was also a young catcher on our Oshkosh team. I believe he joined the Giants after his high school graduation. I remember him as a stocky young player with a blond crew-cut. He was enthusiastic but an inexperienced player in pro baseball. Could we find the career stats on Morris? - Bill O'Donnell
