[edit] Biographical Information
Sparrow Morton pitched a couple of games for the 1884 Philadelphia Quakers. He later pitched in the Eastern League.
The July/August 1999 issue of SABR's Biographical Research Committee raises some question as to whether Morton's real name was Morton More and whether he had previously played for Fairmount Park or Chambersburg. various sources seem to confirm that his name at birth was Moore, not Morton.
