Thanks for the great article.

Met Roger when he was pitching for my hometown Auburn Astros in 1983. Hard to believe that was almost 40 years ago.

My condolences to his family and friends.

So sorry to hear about Roger's death. We were never friends (no, not enemies either), but we competed against each other in basketball, he at Branham, me at Blackford. I was fortunate enough to play with Roger in the North/South All-Star game. It's a privilege to lift up prayers for his wife, kids, and grandkids.

TERRIFIC writeup, seriously. Wish you would do some stories, anecdotes, biographies of your Texas Rangers for Baseball Almanac!
