Joe Morgan was only 5'7", but the Hall of Famer could do everything on a ball field to make his team win. The second baseman won five Gold Gloves, hit 268 home runs, and stole 689 bases. In speaking of his election to the Baseball Hall of Fame, Morgan said, "I take my vote as a salute to the little guys...." Morgan added that he didn't try to merely compile great statistics for himself. "If I stole a base, it was to help us win a game...."
