	Mickey Morandini
		Mickey is not flashy and he keeps a low profile, but he doesn’t need to draw attention to himself in order to make people recognize that he is a valuable component of a winning team.
		Morandini feels the most difficult play for a second baseman to make would have to be turning the double play.
		Mickey’s career highlights include being selected to the National League all-star team in 1995, playing in the 1993 World Series and becoming the first ever second baseman to turn an unassisted triple play during a major league regular season contest (September 20, 1992, at Pittsburgh).

	Mickey Morandini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael Robert Morandini (born April 22, 1966 in Kittanning, Pennsylvania) is a former second baseman in Major League Baseball who played for the Philadelphia Phillies (1990-97, 2000), Chicago Cubs (1998-99), and Toronto Blue Jays (2000).
		Morandini was typical of second baseman of his era, fielding his position well but never hitting many home runs and rarely hitting for substantial average.
		He possessed extra-base power (finishing seventh in the league in doubles in 1995 and 1997, and among the National League leaders in triples from 1992 to 1995), good speed (123 career stolen bases), and had a career fielding percentage of.989 at second base.

	Morandini headlines A-K Valley Sports Hall inductees - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		Morandini, a Leechburg native who played 10-plus seasons in the big leagues, heads a class of distinguished athletes and coaches who made their marks on the baseball diamond, on the basketball hardwood and on the football gridiron.
		Morandini's triple play -- the ninth in major-league history at the time -- came while he was playing for the Phillies in a 1992 regular-season game against the Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium.
		Morandini, who was playing second base, snagged a line-drive by Jeff King, stepped on second as Andy Van Slyke struggled to get back in time, then stepped on second base to ring up a hard-charging Barry Bonds.

	Morandini still savors triple play - PittsburghLIVE.com
		The Phillies drafted Morandini in 1988, knowing that their selectee would be headed to South Korea for the Olympics, but afterwards he was on the fast track to the major leagues, making his debut with Philadelphia in 1989.
		The Pirates eventually won in 13 innings, and Morandini instinctively rolled the ball on the pitcher’s mound as he passed by, not knowing the historic baseball probably ended up in the stands by way of a foul ball or was tossed out of the game when scuffed.
		Morandini has played in Phillies’ fantasy camps in Florida for the past two winters, and continues to coach his sons and give individual instruction to aspiring athletes.
