Why wasn't Joe Morgan recognized with the second baseman in the pregame of the All Star Game?

Question

I know I'm a little late with this question. Did he refuse to participate for some reason?

Answer 1

No real answer as of yet

But the rumor flying around is cause Ryne Sandberg was there...Morgan also wasn't at Sandberg's HOF ceremony

Strangely enough Morgan was in the parade before the game

Answer 2

i think it was the yankee brass not wanting to bring any good luck to the national league team considering the last time the all star game was held at Yankee Stadium Joe Morgan lead off the game with a home run and the nl won it.

I personally am glad he wasnt there ive lost a lot of respect for him as a broadcaster over the years. There were many living hall of famers who turned down the invite.
