The Old Rookie is a baseball story of a former baseball player from California, but with roots tied in Texas. People called him “The Oldest Rookie”, but was formerly known as Jim Morris. He dreamed of always pitching in the major leagues. However, as all kids it was just a fantasy that was just made even more impossible by injuries he suffered in his early twenties. Jim started to realize that his fantasy of being a pitcher for the major leagues was not reality and had to head toward the real world. Years kept going on and he found himself settled as a high school science teacher. He had a wife, three students, and admired students. He thought his baseball career was over and was only ever going to coach, but also to inspire his students
