FIFA Women's World CupHarlem Globetrotters 'draft' Alex Morgan
BY HOOMAN YAZDANIAN | SENIOR STAFF
One of the more peculiar stories that hits the airwaves in sports every summer is the Harlem Globetrotters' annual "draft."
On Tuesday, the Globetrotters' draft haul was as impressive as it gets in the sports world, consisting of some of its biggest names. The team's most notable selections were Cal alumna and U.S. women's soccer star Alex Morgan, along with 14-year-old Mo'ne Davis, the girl who took the Little League World Series by storm last year as the lone female pitcher in a sport dominated by boys.

Morgan is the fourth soccer player taken in the draft's nine-year history who has been deemed worthy by these standards. She joins Lionel Messi, Tim Howard and Landon Donovan in these illustrious ranks. Other famous draftees include Johnny Manziel and Mariano Rivera. The satirical Globetrotters have also named some notable honorary members. These are headlined by Whoopi Goldberg, Henry Kissinger, Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis (but interestingly not Pope Benedict XVI).
