A Quote by Marcus Morris

When I was in Boston, I averaged 14 a game. — © Marcus Morris
When I was in Boston, I averaged 14 a game.
I was 6-4, about 155 at the end of high school and averaged like 11, 12 points and nine assists a game.
But this is the point I want to make: When you talk about steroids and you talk about what it means to the game, the three greatest home run hitters of all time-Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays, right? When they were 39 years old, how many home runs do you think they averaged? The three greatest home run hitters of all time averaged 18 home runs at age 39. Now, how many home runs did Barry Bonds hit when he was 39? He hit 73!
I ain't got no problem in Boston, I especially like the attention. I know that I'm one of the top guys in this game and all the attention is on me, I got a lot of people on my shoulder but I'm human. I like to go. I like to have fun. I like to do this and that but I gotta represent Boston and the Red Sox in every way that I do outside this game. ... Like I said I get paid to play baseball no [matter] where I go to play I still gotta go and perform even if I like it or not.
We thought I was going to go to Boston at 14, and then Miami took me at 13. So I got blessed to come here, instead of there.
I started freelancing for Serious Eats while I was still living in Boston. I was born there, grew up in New York City, but went back to Boston for school, and then I lived in Boston for about ten years.
I can tell you that I can always recognize a Boston song, even if it's in a noisy place. I can hear that it's Boston even before I know what song it is. If a Boston song comes on in a club or somewhere, I notice that it's Boston, and the second thing I notice is what song it is.
I was 14 when I lost them [his front teeth]. The main thing was, we won that game, so I was the happiest. You hate to lose your teeth and the game, too.
I mean, some of the shots I take now I wouldn't have dreamed of taking when I first put on a Heat uniform. I would've been like, 'Who am I to take that shot?' Some undrafted guy who averaged nine points a game his senior year in college.
There is nothing like Ruth ever existed in this game of baseball. I remember we were playing the White Sox in Boston in 1919, and he hit a home run off Lefty Williams over the left-field fence in the ninth inning and won the game. It was majestic. It soared.
My most memorable WrestleMania ever was my first: at WrestleMania 14 in Boston against The Undertaker. That was a huge high point in my career and an absolute highlight of my career.
I've always noticed how the Fenway fans get behind the pitcher, especially late in the game if you're having a good game, or if you have two strikes on a hitter, they really start to chant and anticipate a strikeout. And that's the best part about playing in Boston and at Fenway. There are knowledgeable fans who anticipate the flow of the game and they can really help out the pitcher.
It's funny. At one point you've got a 14-game winning streak and people doubt you, then you lose one game and people doubt you even more.
I think it's very important to be part of the Boston society and the people who live in Boston.
You know, I'm from Boston, and in Boston, you are born with a baseball bat in your hand.
I went to Harvard College, grew up in Boston, and went to high school in Boston.
For me, there is a strong family connection to Boston and anything connected to Boston, which includes Fenway.
