Roger was one of the Mets' workhorses during their first two seasons, losing a staggering total of 46 games. He had a winning record for the rest of his career, though, appearing in four World Series, and then went on to a long and successful second career as a coach and a manager. He's pictured here as the manager of the Giants on a 1992 Topps Gold Winners card. Three more cards are shown below.
