Who is Logan Morrison?
By
For some of you, Logan Morrison is just a young outfielder for the Florida Marlins. Others, know that the kid can hit and has a bright future in baseball.
Both of the above descriptions fit perfectly when describing Morrison “the baseball player.” The left handed hitter was born in Kansas City, Missouri on August 25, 1987. He’s 6′ 3″ and weights 235 lb. He was drafted in the 22nd round of the 2005 Amateur Draft and made his Major League debut July 27, 2010.
Morrison though, is becoming a bigger celebrity for what he’s doing off the field. The 23-year old has, in my opinion, the funniest Twitter account for an athlete. He doesn’t have the same number of followers Yankees’ right fielder Nick Swisher has, but it won’t be long before “LoMo” catches up. He is currently closing in on the 20,000 follower mark.
Morrison’s Twitter account is filled with jokes and funny re-tweets (RT’s), some of them making fun of himself. He appears to have a great sense of humor, and he has absolutely no problem making fun of himself.
When I first started following him, I was doing it just because he was a Major League player, and my job makes me do so. After a couple of weeks seeing his avatar (a picture of him swinging a bat with his black Marlins’ black jersey) constantly in my timeline (TL), I decided to pay more attention to what this kid had to say, and I’m not sorry I did it.
Not too many Major Leaguers take the time to write on their Twitter accounts, but this guy was amazing. He was constantly tweeting and joking with almost everybody who wrote him.
My job encourages me to follow and read a lot of people, but it doesn’t matter how much I’ve worked everyday, I always take the time to read Morrison’s TL. If you enjoy the lighter side of Twitter, you should definitely follow Morrison (@LoMoMarlins). I can assure you this crazy outfielder will make you laugh day-in-and-day-out.
Before entering the Disabled List this week, Morrison was hitting .327/.424/.636 with 4 HR’s and 11 RBI’s in 55 AB’s with the Marlins.
