How 'Bout Tim Morton?

Post by BabyDoc »

Here's a fun bit of history:
Tim Morton
http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=10539293
ended up with two World Series rings, even though he only ever played for the Chicago Street Hounds, who only won it once during his career. Sure, he got a ring with the Hounds in '06- but how did he get his second?
Answer: he was waived by the Hounds at the start of the 2113 regular season, and then picked up by the Brooklyn Blind Bats but stayed in the minors. At the start of the playoffs the Bats brought him up, but he never got into a playoff game. So it was that when Brooklyn won the Series that fall, Tim earned his second ring more than a year after his last major league action!

I can't remember the details, but I must have had an injury just before the playoffs and needed a hitter. Great story!
