FREE: Signed Roger Repoz Photo, Voted top 100 Angels Players

The listing, Signed Roger Repoz Photo, Voted top 100 Angels Players has ended.

Roger Repoz (pronounced re-POZE, as in someone “lying in repose”) not only had a lyrical name, but also seemed destined to become a major league superstar. Some members of the Yankee organization regarded him as the next Roger Maris, but Repoz would end up settling for a career that was more along the lines of Roger Cedeno or Roger Metzger. As if the Maris comparisons weren’t stressful enough, many New York writers and fans began referring to Repoz as the “next Mickey Mantle,” in part because he shared a blonde crew cut and a powerful uppercut swing with the legendary Mantle.
Roger Allen Repoz (born August 3, 1940 in Bellingham, Washington) is a former professional baseball player who played nine seasons for the New York Yankees, Kansas City Athletics, and California Angels of Major League Baseball. He also played five seasons in Japan for the Taiheiyo Club Lions and Yakult Swallows.
In 1971, Repoz became the first player in Major League Baseball history to compile an OPS of greater than .700 while putting up a batting average of under .200 and playing in a minimum of 100 games.
