Michael Morse

Former professional basketball player Michael Morse had a Major League Baseball career spanning more than 12 years, and is now a sports broadcaster.

Morse lived in Jamaica until he was six years old, when he moved back to the US with his family. He played basketball throughout his youth and went on to have a minor league career before being selected in 2004 by the Seattle Mariners to join the side as their shortstop. He played for the side for five years, moving to the Washington Nationals in 2009 and earning himself a solid reputation as a valuable player. He also became renowned for using the well known song Take On Me as his at-bat song, a track which Nationals fans have continued to sing even after he left the side. Morse then moved back to play for the Mariners for a second time, before stints with the Baltimore Orioles, San Francisco Giants, Miami Marlins and the Pittsburgh Pirates. He moved back to the Giants for the last years of his career, before making his debut as a sports commentator in 2018. He has worked on MASN and as an expert commentator on several three-game series with fans enjoying his commentary and analysis.

This talented and experienced baseball player has earned his place in the sporting history books, and continues to be a key figure in the game through his work as a commentator.
