June 5, 20232 yr He passed away recently. He had a long, successful career, but what I remember vividly about him was that in 1959, he started Game 1 of the World Series between Dodgers and Sox. We won, something like 11 to 0. He was removed early., obviously. Turns out the Sox gave the LA wives tickets in the right field upper deck in old Comiskey, and when Roger struggled, the fans up there really let her have it. She had to leave, crying as she went. I never understood how fans can be that cruel. RIP Roger.
