His battle with the bottle did not help his career.

Jimbo could always make one go since his Maryland days.. especially being a lefthand batter 1st time up can surprise one.

Pretty sure he was the guy that was drunk as all hell in the warmups at Lexington and they stopped him-he blew over a 0.02 in the morning

4-Loco--he said he didnt know it contained alcohol

about 15 years ago

Correction-  .02 = 1 drink
.20 = 10 drinks.  (2-2.5 times the legal limit)!

I believe it was after race 1 when they stopped him.

At his prime, without question, I couldn't agree with you more. He could drive anywhere with anyone. Didn't matter where or who. Talent and ability was there. Like I said, his own doing. Today, 59 years old, even with a part-time year, and so on, if the drive is still there, and he wants it, he will drive circles around driving colony like that.
Was Morrill not the original driver of He's Watching before he couldn't make the commitment to all the grand circuit venues , then Tetrick took over?

Funny how things change in less than three years...Morrill is no longer driving and I don't think Sorrie has been back to the states since this original post. If he has it's a rarity. Too bad. He's an above average driver. It seems like he has good hands and is always trying.

That alone would put him in the upper echelon at Buffalo and Batavia.
