Governor DeWine Issues Statement on the Death of Joe Morgan

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement on the death of Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer, Joe Morgan.

"Fran and I, along with our children, extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Joe Morgan -- the greatest second baseman of all time, a great base runner and hitter, and a gracious and genuinely nice person. He was a player who mastered every detail of the game. We saw him play many times with our older children -- Pat, Jill, Becky, and John. It was a thrill to watch him! To Brian, Alice, Mark, and Anna, he was the voice of Sunday night baseball, when later he was an announcer. He had a unique ability to explain what was happening on the field to the average fan. He was a master at explaining the "why" of baseball. In both business and charity, even after his playing days were over, he continued to be involved in the Cincinnati-area community.
