Metairie, LA - Florida Marlins top prospect and Slidell native Logan Morrison has been added to the guest list for the annual "Evening With The Zephyrs" cocktail reception, being held Thursday, January 21st at Rosy's Jazz Hall from 7-9 p.m.

Morrison, a first baseman in the Marlins system, was ranked 18th in Baseball America's 2009 rankings of the top 100 prospects in baseball. In the midseason rankings, released in July, Morrison had risen to 10th.

In 2009, Morrison played in just 79 games after breaking his wrist early in the season, but recovered to hit.277 with eight home runs and 47 RBI in helping the Double-A Jacksonville Suns to the Southern League championship.

The previous season, the 22-year-old Morrison was named the Florida State League's Most Valuable Player after leading the league with a.332 batting average, 162 hits, a.402 on-base percentage and 38 doubles.

A native of Slidell, Morrison graduated from Northshore High School, where he hit.486 and struck out just two times while being named Class 5A All-State by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. He then attended Maplewoods Community College in Kansas City, the same college that produced reigning two-time National League Most Valuable Player Albert Pujols.

Fans can meet Morrison, along with Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington, former World Series-winning manager Jack McKeon, and more guests at "Evening With The Zephyrs." Tickets are $30 per person, or $100 for a group of four. The ticket price includes food and drink for all guests, and The Regg Sanders Jazz Trio will be on hand to provide musical entertainment.

For more information or for tickets, contact the Zephyrs at (504) 734-5155.
