WICHITA, Kan. – The Wichita State baseball program will be holding its annual First Pitch Banquet on Thurs., Feb. 4 in the Aetna Multi-Purpose Facility at Charles Koch Arena.
 
The dinner will start at 6 p.m. and will feature guest speaker Jim "The Rookie" Morris.  Jim Morris's meteoric rise from 35 year-old high school teacher to flame-throwing major league pitcher in three months, made cinematic history with the release of The Rookie starring Dennis Quaid.
 
Morris pitched for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 1999 and 2000 before retiring in 2001.
 
Today, he lives with his family near San Antonio and travels the world as an inspirational and motivational speaker.
