    Figured there was a good chance he would get in as a replacement.

    Good for him, drafted back in 2002. A short 16 years later he's an All-Star.

    Love it. Great to see vets like him and Lowrie getting to have the experience and recognition for the first time.

    Well-deserved for an unassuming Stros hero. I'm quite sure he will enjoy it a whole lot yet still be grounded.

    Came up with Braves, teammate with Brian McCann. Morton Injured his Arm, Tommy John Surgery has a setback. Thinking of Retirement, Comeback with the Phillies, Pirates, Astros Believed in him to World Series Game 7 Hero to
    2018 All Star. Thank You Charlie for Believing in Yourself, and Being so Clutch as a Astro.

    We have three in the game this year. The two who missed it -- Keuchel and McCullers -- made it last year. Crazy.

    Morton's hat is in the Hall of Fame, and now he's an All Star. Good job, Charlie.

    I've had this bad feeling he might retire after this year as I know he's a family man and misses them during the long season. This interview made me one happy guy.

    Definitely agree :). I think he's got a good chance to be re-signed too. When he got here, he was a gamble since he was injured often and couldn't put together many full seasons. Now he's worth a flyer since he's *knock on wood* been pretty damn healthy and consistent in his 2 years here.
