Written about him

One night up

Zach Morgan Reached The Major Leagues On Monday Without Reaching The Batter's Box

Zach Morgan was a major league catcher for one game and did not catch it. The Giants called him up August 10 after Susac fractured his patella, sat him behind Drew Cavanaugh, signed 31-year-old Andrew Knizner off the free agent market the next day, and sent Morgan back to Triple-A. The league's own player record lists no debut date for him. There is a word for what he nearly became, and more than 400 men in baseball history have earned it.
