Description

The story of "The Rookie" Jim Morris is well known.  Morris' life story & baseball journey turned into a Disney movie.  Retired from a first pro baseball journey, teaching high school science while coaching high school baseball. Then a promise between Morris and his players led to a second chance at baseball, and a tryout at the age of 35.  Three months later, Morris stepped on a major league field for the first time in his life and a legend was born.
