Thanks for pointing that out, Dogfish40. I somehow missed that when it was posted, and I'd like to add to what you said.

It happened once, and Morton claimed he was fired on first. Maybe he was lying, maybe not. I'm not defending Morton, but once hardly equals "particularly fond of". I do agree that he would likely not have been tried, though, and I also agree that is wrong.
