Besides the Yankees and Reds, he also played for the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers. Morris was known for his unusual hitting technique.

Hal was not known for his power, but he had an uncanny ability to spray the ball to all corners of the ballpark. He was not exceptional defensively, but he was a very solid first baseman.

After retiring, Morris continued his education by graduating with an MBA from Stanford University.
