Joe Morgan told baseball fans in 2018 he'd done everything he wanted to do

Joe Morgan, the National Baseball Hall of Famer and former Cincinnati Reds great who died Sunday at 77, joined fellow Big Red Machine great and Hall of Famer Johnny Bench as well as Hall of Famer and former Milwaukee Brewers great Robin Yount at an event in July 2018, and all three answered questions from baseball fans at Montgomery's Green Diamond Gallery. (The gallery closed last year.)

Make-A-Wish accepts a $10,000 grant from Character and Courage Foundation as well as Hall of Famers Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Robin Yount.

Here's some of what Morgan, Bench and Yount had to say that night:

Q: Why can't guys run the bases like you did, Joe?

Morgan: It's not about running the bases - it's about the way the game is played today.
