From Larry Stewart’s Morning Briefing in the Los Angeles Times:
When longtime Bay Area play-by-play announcer Lon Simmons was presented with the Ford Frick Award at the recent baseball Hall of Fame inductions, he was introduced by Joe Morgan.
During his acceptance speech, Simmons told a story about a golf match with Morgan. With a bet still on the line going to the 18th hole, Simmons hit his tee shot in the fairway and Morgan hit his deep into the rough.
Simmons said Morgan couldn’t find his ball and had to be reminded that there was a five-minute time limit. Finally, Morgan yelled, “I found it.”
Said Simmons: “He proceeded to hit it out of the rough, through a bunker and right up to the flag.
“Now if you’re me and you’ve got his golf ball in your pocket, what do you say?”
