Jack Morris Career

Playing career

Morris attended Highland Park High School in Saint Paul, Minnesota, graduating in 1973. He then attended Brigham Young University (BYU) and played college baseball for the BYU Cougars.

In the fifth round of the 1976 MLB draft, the Detroit Tigers selected Morris. After Mark Fidrych was put on the disabled list due to an accident, he was first called up to the Tigers in 1977. Morris came into the Detroit crew's starting rotation in 1979, putting down a 17–7 record and a 3.29 ERA, as well as establishing himself as the Detroit staff's ace. Morris, along with catcher Lance Parrish, shortstop Alan Trammell, second baseman Lou Whitaker, outfielder Kirk Gibson, and manager Sparky Anderson all played a key role in the Tigers' transformation into a contending team for the majority of the 1980s. Morris learned to toss the split-finger fastball from newly hired pitching coach Roger Craig in 1980, and it became a good pitch for the remainder of Morris' career. In the 1981 season, he led the major leagues with 14 victories.

Despite playing for the legendary "Captain Hook" (Anderson), nicknamed after his tendency to pull his starters at the first signs of weakness, Morris was known for finishing what he started. He played 175 games in his career (154 with Detroit). In ten of his 12 full seasons as a Tiger, he had double-digit complete game totals in ten of his ten seasons as a Tiger. Morris made 20 of his 37 attempts in 1983. He led the league in innings pitched (293.2), batters faced (1204) and strikeouts (232), as well as his first 20-win campaign.

Morris no-hit the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park on April 7, 1984 (on NBC's nationally televised Game of the Week), marking the start of what would be a good season for both him and the Tigers. In 1958, Jim Bunning became the first by a Tiger since Jim Bunning. He had notched 19 victories and a 3.60 ERA by the end of the 1984 campaign, leading Detroit into the postseason. The Kansas City Royals defeated the Kansas City Royals in the ALCS in the ALCS, and the San Diego Padres won two more complete games in the World Series against the San Diego Padres as the Tigers brought their wire-to-wire 1984 campaign with the World Championship ended. Morris received the Babe Ruth Award for his 1984 postseason work, though teammate Alan Trammell was named World Series MVP.

Morris went 21–8 in 1986 with a 3.27 ERA and 223 strikeouts. His career-high six shutouts this season included a stretch from July 9 to 18, in which he delivered a complete shutout in three consecutive starts. After a team-leading 18 victories from Morris, the Tigers returned to the postseason in 1987, but Morris' postseason results were below expectations this time. He missed his first appearance in the ALCS by surrendering six runs in eight innings to the eventual World Champion Minnesota Twins. Despite a rough start to 1989 when he made only 24 starts and won just 6 games, he finished the 1980s with 162 victories, the most by a major league pitcher during the decade. Morris lost his first 18 games in 1990, his last season in Detroit, but he still led the Tiger staff with 15 victories and led the AL with 11 complete games.

Morris had a 3–1 post-season record as a Tiger, with a 2.73 ERA.

Morris, a native Minnesota Twins, has been on a one-year deal since 1991. He had another great season, winning 18 games with a 3.43 ERA, and a much better postseason after Minnesota defeated the AL West in the AL West. Morris won both of his starts against the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS, and his team continued to face the Atlanta Braves in the World Series. Morris played for the Twins three times in the series, going 2–0 with a 1.17 ERA, and his final outing in Game 7 was decided. In a post-season appearance for the ages, the 36-year-old hurler threw ten innings of shutout baseball against the Braves, defeating the Twins 1–0 after the Twins won the game 1–0 on a 10th-inning single by Gene Larkin that scored Dan Gladden. Morris was named the World Series MVP for his efforts, and he and fellow pitcher Sandy Koufax became the first two people to win the Babe Ruth Award twice. With four in 1991, he holds the most wins by a Twin in a single postseason.

Morris joined the Toronto Blue Jays in 1991 after a two-year deal. He won 21 games in 1992 for the second time in his career (the first ever 20-win season for a Blue Jays pitcher) with only six losses, but he rode a wave of superior run help from his offense, despite his 4.04 ERA that year. The Blue Jays won the 1992 World Series against the Braves. Despite a subpar post-season appearance (he went 0–3, including two World Series losses), Morris won his third World Series ring as Toronto defeated Atlanta in six games. In 1993, he claimed his fourth ring as the Blue Jays reclaimed as World Champions with a victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. However, Morris was not a factor in the Blue Jays World Series repeat: he pitched poorly for the team in the regular season, finishing 7–12 with a 6.19 ERA, and was not active in the postseason due to a season-ending injury.

Morris earned his 14th straight opening day debut on April 6, 1993, an amazing feat considering he competed on many championship-contending teams. The opening Day is usually awarded to either the best pitcher in the rotation or the pitcher with the highest degree of respect among the players and coaches.

Morris joined the Cleveland Indians in 1994, but the team was cut on August 9, three days before the season was ended due to a strike. Morris had a 10–6 record and a 5.60 ERA on the season. Morris resigned after an abortive attempt with the Cincinnati Reds in spring 1995. He returned to professional baseball in 1996, this time with the St. Paul Saints of the independent Northern League, his hometown. Morris, 41, finished 5–1 in ten starts with a 2.69 ERA before retiring for good.

Morris appeared on at least four occasions in the American League, including 1987, 1988, 1991, and 1993.

Although it most likely resulted in Morris leading the league in wild pitches on six separate occasions, it was also responsible for his strikeout totals. His 206 wild pitches in his career ranked eighth in baseball history.

Post-career activities

Morris has spent time as a color analyst for the Minnesota Twins. During spring training, he worked in Lakeland, Florida, as a part-time coach for the Detroit Tigers.

Morris joined Sportsnet as a colour analyst for Toronto Blue Jays radio broadcasts, as well as making appearances on television broadcasts. In 2014, he served as a pre- and post-game analyst for Twins telecasts on Bally Sports North (as well as a part-time replacement for regular game analyst Bert Blyleven) and as a regular on-air contributor on KTWN-FM and the Twins Radio Network.

Morris was hired as a part-time analyst for Detroit's telecasts on Fox Sports Detroit, along with former teammate Kirk Gibson on February 10, 2015. Morris continued to work part-time for the Twins' television crew as well as the Tigers'. Morris would no longer be seen on Tigers television shows in 2017, according to the company's press release. Morris was also named a color commentator for the Tigers on January 15, 2019.

Morris used an accent that some felt offended during a live broadcast on August 17, 2021, when the Los Angeles Angels' Shohei Ohtani was at bat. He released an on-air apology later in the program. "I'm not offended, and I didn't take it personally," Ohtani said (through an interpreter). Morris was banned indefinitely from the Tigers' broadcast booth following the incident, although he returned in less than a month's time.

Morris has two sons from his first marriage and one from his second marriage. He is well-known for his love of hunting and fishing, especially in Minnesota.
