1977 Topps Baseball #100 - Joe Morgan

• Joe Morgan's cards during this era looked impressive. Those "N.L. All Star" things always enhanced the cards. I prefer the "star" ones that the 1975 and 1976 cards had.
• Joe had a good year in 1977. He was still an NL All Star for two more years (1978 and 1979), but his numbers started to decline after the 1977 season.
• Joe won his fifth straight Gold Glove in 1977. It was his last one.
• Morgan led off the 1977 All Star Game with a home run. He went 1 for 4 in the game.
• 1977 Stats: .288, 22 HR, 78 RBI, 113 runs, 49 stolen bases
• 1977 Highlights:
• April 8 - Hit a 3-run homer and had a sacrifice fly to drive in four runs in Cincinnati's 6-3 win over the San Diego Padres
• June 30 - Went 0 for 2 with 3 walks, but scored 5 times in a 11-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
• Aug 6 - Went 3 for 4 with a home run and had 4 RBI to help the Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-6.
• Sept 17 - Reds manager Sparky Anderson replaced Joe with Rick Auerbach in the middle of the game. Morgan was in a slump at the time. Joe left the park before the end of the game and was not happy with Sparky. Morgan didn't play in the following game but was back in the lineup on September 20.
