Moryn\'s career highlight was a dramatic shoe-string catch on the last out of the May 15, 1960, no-hitter by Don Cardwell of the Cubs. Cardwell\'s gem came in his Cubs debut after being acquired in a trade. Moryn himself was traded exactly a month later, at the trading deadline, when he was sent to the Cardinals. He was a member of the National League team for the 25th anniversary 1958 All-Star Game, but did not play in the game.\n', '

Moryn died of a heart attack in Winfield, Illinois, at the age of 70, and is buried in Assumption Cemetery in Wheaton.\n', '
