Wood vs. Wood #309

Last time there was a 5-5 tie! Will there be a winner this time?

Nothing but a clear blue sky (or blue backdrop) behind Moe Morhardt. Moe Morhardt's MLB career consisted of 25 games for the Cubs in 1961 and 1962, hitting .206 with 0 HR and 3 RBI. After his playing career he was a gym teacher, athletic director and coach for several sports at the Gilbert School in Connecticut, was the baseball coach at the University of Hartford, and as of the late 2010s was still involved in coaching youths. Two of his sons played pro baseball; one of them, Greg Morhardt, later became a scout, famous for discovering Mike Trout.

Mike Young steps into the batters box at Memorial Stadium. Young was a power-hitting outfielder for the Orioles who hit 45 HR over his first two seasons, 1984 and 1985. However, a series of injuries robbed him of his effectiveness and he was unable to live up to his early career success. Overall in 635 games, mostly for Baltimore, he hit .247 with 72 HR and 235 RBI. After his career he worked for Abbott Vascular, was a personal trainer, and started a foundation to battle obesity. He died of a heart attack in 2023.
