That was pretty much my reaction when I saw it too, Kelric. Hal Morris is beloved in Wrigleyville as he's been with the Cubs since being drafted 32nd overall in the 1985 draft.
Hal also has the top two individual single season hits record at 271 (1994) and 266 (1993), topping the 256 that Lou Gehrig put together in 1926 for the White Sox. In fact, in Hal's first five major league seasons he totalled 1062 hits. Then during another 7 year stretch from 1992 through 1998, he racked up another 1,719 hits. Out of his 21 season career, Morris has topped the 200 hit mark a remarkable 13 times and had 180 or more another 5 times.
