again, pasted from uniwatchblog.com, a super daily must peruse...
(ss is steve sale. uw is uniwatch)
"SS: The worst player I ever dealt with was Joe Morgan. Oh my gosh. He was a prima donna. One time I was doing some work for the Giants — I did some work for them, too — and I walked into the clubhouse. Now, Wilson was making the Giants’ jerseys at the time, and they had apparently sent a size 44 jersey for Morgan, when he wore a size 40. So I walk into the clubhouse and Morgan just lets me have it, cussing at me, he throws his jersey at me, he goes, "Hey you, this is your fault! What kinda shit is this? Fix my fucking shirt!" And I went nose-to-nose with him and said, "Hey, you don’t ever talk to me that way." He and I nearly got into a fistfight. A few players had to break us up.
UW: Aside from that being no way to treat another person, why would he even think you were responsible for his mis-sized jersey?
SS: Because he knew I worked the jerseys, so in his mind he probably thought any problem with the uniforms was my fault.
UW: Did he eventually apologize?
SS: Oh, no. No way.
