The lush green grass of the outfields. The neatly drawn chalk lines between the bases. The lucky foul ball posts pointed out to visitors as they tour the park, listening to stories of great ball players, imagining what it was like to hear the pop and the break of the wooden bat that sent a tightly stitched baseball flying overhead of the defensive team.

That doesn’t mean he loves his own grounds any less; it’s still a sanctuary away from the daily hustle of life. Morton also heads up Ashby Hospitality, which runs the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center—a renovation project completed during his tenure at Commercial Properties Realty Trust. It must have something to do with a knack for cultivation, the cultivation of things historic and things green. To read the full Q&A with Morton, click here.
