LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
Calling all Cincinnati Reds fans!
Fans who are interested in owning memorabilia from the personal collection of a Reds legend will have an incredible opportunity this weekend.
Items from Joe Morgan’s personal collection are up for auction on Saturday at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory.
Items included in the auction are Morgan’s 1975 and ’76 World Series championship rings, Morgan’s 1975 and ’76 MVP awards, Morgan’s Hall of Fame induction ring and Morgan’s 1975 World Series professional model baseball bat, plus several more items.
The event will be put on by Hunt Auctions.
“Joe Morgan is without question of the most dynamic players of his generation,” said David Hunt, president of Hunt Auctions. “Joe’s offensive and defensive talents elevated the Big Red Machine to a different level with a leadership quality matched by few of his era. His off-the-field achievements were equally revered as a beloved broadcaster, board member of the Baseball Assistance Team, and a board member of the Hall of Fame. The ‘Little General’ is the definition of a baseball ‘lifer’ to which we are humbled to have been chosen to share his important collection of memorabilia with his legions of fans.”
Morgan spent eight seasons with the Reds and put together a Hall of Fame career before becoming a successful broadcaster.
