Michael Thomas Morgan (born October 8, 1959) is an American former right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball. He played for 12 different teams over 25 years, and is one of 31 players in baseball history to appear in Major League baseball games in four decades (1978–2002).[1] Upon his retirement, Morgan held the major league record for most major league teams played for (12), but this record was surpassed by Octavio Dotel in 2012 and Edwin Jackson in 2018.[2] Because of this, Morgan was nicknamed "the Nomad" by his teammates due to his constant travel from team to team.[3]
