My Take

Roger Repoz is the sort of name only diehard 1960s baseball fans will recognize, and that is part of the charm. A power-hitting, slick-fielding outfielder who came up with the Yankees and found his real footing with the Angels, he was a solid everyday big-leaguer in an era thick with great outfielders. His numbers won't get him to Cooperstown, but he had a real nine-year career across four franchises, which most players never come close to. I have a soft spot for these workmanlike ballplayers from the pre-expansion-boom years; they're the connective tissue of the game's history, and worth remembering.
