Participating in "Movember" with T Mo

Tommy Morris is a junior pitcher from Syosset High School which is located on Long Island. He is participating in "Movember" which is a spin off of No Shave November. T Mo expressed extra excitement for this year's Movember because the Boston Red Sox are the World Series champions. Members of the Red Sox kept their beards from spring training up until the conclusion of the World Series.


Tommy isn't the only member of his family who plays college baseball; he has a brother named Joey who plays at Queens College. Queens College is located in Queens, New York and is a member of division two NCAA athletics. Joey, however, is an outfielder unlike his brother who is a member of the Blue Devil pitching staff.

Besides baseball, Tommy has an avid love for basketball and is a huge New York Knicks fan. He is not happy with their start to the young season and thinks there is not enough team play. He feels the offense is centered too much around isolation plays for Carmelo Anthony and not enough set plays run by the offense. Tyson Chandler, the Knicks starting center, is out 4-6 weeks with an injury and Tommy said that this injury will hurt their rebounding and low post defense.

I asked Tommy what one teammate he would choose to be stuck on a deserted island with and why? Tommy chose sophomore outfielder Quinn Danahy because he is a team player and he will do what is necessary to get the job done. You may be familiar with Quinn already as he has conducted video interviews in previous blog posts with other members of our team.

T Mo also wanted to point out one interesting fact about himself: he shares a birthday with former big league pitcher Randy Johnson. He also pointed out they both throw left handed and bat right handed.
