Here's the worst Morgan quote that I heard (that I can remember, at least).
It was an ESPN game (obviously) between the Cubs and Sox. Someone on the Cubs hit a homer into the basket. Morgan goes on and on about the baskets at Wrigley and talks about how he (and many others in baseball) called the baskets "Banks Boulevard." Implying that a good portion of Banks's homers were cheapies (barely getting out of Wrigley and landing in the baskets).
He was lying. Know why? Those baskets were installed in 1970. Banks retired after the 1971 season. Which means he played a total of two seasons with those baskets installed -- and only played in a combined 111 games in those two seasons, hitting a total of 15 homers (I'm not going to look up how many of those were at Wrigley, and I don't know if there's a way to figure out if any of the ones he hit at Wrigley went into the basket). Let's give Morgan the benefit of the doubt, though, and say Banks hit 8 of his 15 homers over those two years at Wrigley -- and all 8 of them went in the basket.
Yeah...fucking Banks Boulevard. Way to insult a Hall of Famer and the most beloved Cub of all-time with your bullshit that you completely pulled out of your ass, Morgan.
Fucking douchebag moron. I wonder why people don't respect Morgan's baseball knowledge...
