Mickey Morandini was the All-Star SS in the 1987 Intercontinental Cup, the lone American named to that All-Star team. He hit .404/~.433/.684, with a tourney-high 8 doubles. He led the Americans with 16 runs and 13 RBI, well shy of Omar Linares on both fronts, as the U.S. won silver. He was just 1 for 13 with 3 walks for team USA in the 1988 Baseball World Cup, playing primarily DH with Ty Griffin at second base and Dave Silvestri at short for team USA. He was signed as a 5th round pick in the 1988 amateur draft by the Philadelphia Phillies and scout Tony Lucadello.
He turned an unassisted triple play on September 20, 1992 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jeff King was the batter.
