Roger Repoz

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.

Roger Repoz (born 1940) is an American former professional baseball player. An outfielder, he played in Major League Baseball from 1964 to 1972 for the New York Yankees, Kansas City and Oakland Athletics, and the California Angels. A left-handed hitter known for his power and strong defense, he spent the largest portion of his career with the Angels.
