More on Morris' plans in three years:
Owns two W.S. rings, however
the one he wears every day – is from his wife, Nhan. He proposed to her at Alex Rodriguez Park on a Sunday afternoon when it was closed.
“You want to go out on the field?” Morris asked Nhan.
Morris then brought her to shortstop – the position he played as a young athlete – and got down on one knee.
“She said yes, by the way,” Morris quips, retelling the tale.
By the time he retires in 2018, Morris will have spent 45 years as a college coach, but only seven of them as Nhan’s husband and six as Will’s father.
If he is not still involved in baseball in some capacity, Morris envisions himself in the housing industry. He wanted to pursue architecture in college and loves watching real estate reality TV shows.
“I’ve drawn two houses and built them while I was a coach, and in the last 40 years, I’ve owned approximately 40 houses,” he said.
Morris has lived in close to 34 of those homes, but he always ends up flipping them.
“I went out Sundays to go to open houses and saw a house I liked better and bought it that day,” he said.
