-Morris attended [[Valley Central High School]] in New York before starring at [[Seton Hall University]] in [[New Jersey]], he was drafted 12th overall in the June {{by|1995}} [[free agent]] draft by the [[St. Louis Cardinals]]. Morris pitched in the [[Minor league baseball|minor leagues]] in {{by|1996}} and {{by|1997}}, reaching the majors in 1997. In his first season, he won 12 games with a 3.19 [[Earned run average|ERA]]. In {{by|1999}}, he underwent [[Tommy John surgery]] after he was injured in [[spring training]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/M/matt-morris.shtml | title=Matt Morris Statistics| author=|publisher=''[[The Baseball Cube]]'' | date= | accessdate=2008-04-29}}</ref>
-Morris became the ace of the Cardinals' pitching staff in {{by|2001}}, earning his first [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star]] selection and a 3rd place finish in the [[Cy Young Award|NL Cy Young]] voting. He won 22 games with 185 [[strikeout]]s and a 3.16 ERA. In {{by|2002}}, he won 17 games and made his second All-Star appearance.
-In {{by|2004}}, Morris signed an incentive-laden one-year contract after he won 15 games on a Cardinals team that made the [[2004 World Series|World Series]]. In 2004, he lost 10 games for the first time in his career and had a 4.72 ERA, also a career high.
-Morris underwent surgery during the 2004/{{by|2005}} off-season and started the season 8-0 with a 3.16 ERA, and was 10-2 with a 3.10 ERA at the time of the [[MLB_All_Star_Game|All-Star break]]. In fact, he was considered by many to be snubbed for the All-Star game. Morris went 4-7 with a 5.55 ERA after the All-Star break. He was the number three starter for the [[St. Louis Cardinals|Cardinals]] in the [[playoffs]], behind ace [[Chris Carpenter]], and [[Mark Mulder]].

-On [[December 12]], 2005, Morris signed a 3-year contract with the [[San Francisco Giants]] worth $27 million. He had an injury-filled year with the Giants in 2006, going 10-15 with a 4.98 ERA.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/10/03/SPG43LH1VE1.DTL | title=GIANTS NOTEBOOK Injured ribs affected Morris at end of season

-Prior to the {{by|2007}} season, Morris changed his uniform number from 35, which he had worn for his entire career. Morris opted to wear number 22 instead, as a tribute to retired former teammate [[Mike Matheny]]. [[Rich Aurilia]] took the number 35 jersey.
-On [[July 31]], 2007, Morris was traded to the [[Pittsburgh Pirates]] for centerfield prospect [[Rajai Davis]] and pitcher Stephen MacFarland.
