COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — No longer the emotional wreck he was on that special day in December, Jack Morris settled into a director's chair inside the Baseball Hall of Fame's Plaque Gallery, a satisfied smile creasing his face.

"You walk into this room and it's like the Holy Grail," Morris said Tuesday after touring baseball's shrine for the first time in preparation for his induction this summer.
