“Why do I still do it? Working in baseball is all I’ve ever done, and I still enjoy it.”
With another dreary, last-place season in the forecast, the A’s are fortunate to have Mickey Morabito and his dry sense of humor around for the 43rd straight year.
Mickey Morabito has handled all the A’s travel arrangements since arriving in 1980. Photo by Michael Zagaris “Mickey’s got a really good personality and you look forward to his company,” La Russa said while talking about his traveling secretary from 1986-95. “He’s interesting and fun. He could take it and he could dish it out.Former equipment manager Steve Vucinich, whose epic 54-year run with the A’s ended with his retirement last year, said Morabito has always done right by everyone he works with.
“Why do I still do it? Working in baseball is all I’ve ever done and I still enjoy it,” said the 71-year-old Morabito. “I enjoy traveling and staying in nice hotels on somebody else’s dime.” The travel has gotten better since then. The A’s have their own chartered plane for every trip. As usual, Morabito has had all the A’s travel set up well in advance of the six-month season. Same with the team’s hotels, buses and delivery trucks. As always, there will be plenty of other flights for him to arrange during the season for players coming up to the A’s or down to Triple-A Las Vegas. .
