Ask Joe Morgan

Joe,
When will we see the first woman in professional baseball and what do you think of Jenny Finch?

Last week during a game broadcast, I was talking about the importance of scoring more runs than the other team and he interrupted me with something about OPS or DICE or some statistic I've never heard of. It really got me a little upset and I let him know this during the commercial break.

Relating to this answer Joe, how does it feel now that ESPN has brought Orel Hershiser into the Sunday night booth? It must be a bit disappointing for you, seeing as how you were looking forward to flying solo a couple of years ago...Bit of a slap in the face for ESPN's number 1 colour commentator wouldn't you say? I mean he's not even a HoFer for cryin' out loud!

Dear Joe,

The NFL just announced that they are "funding an institute at the University of Connecticut that will focus on preventing unnecessary deaths among athletes."

It's interesting that they are only focusing on "unnecessary deaths". Could you please tell me what constitutes a "necessary" death among athletes?
