Roger was signed by the Cleveland Indians in the same time frame a Rocky Colavito. Both reached the big club around the same time.They became close friends that lasted till Roger's death. I;ve a biography of Colavito, a fairly reccent one. He thought Maris was one of the best people he ever knew.
Compare how Roger told Sal go make some money with it, while the nonsense when Jeter got his 3000 hit/hr the guy got tickets Jeter should have paid off his loan.
RIP Sal
Sal, if you're still out there, you are a saint, and there are not many of them being made these days.
I recall reading that Roger and Sal remained friends up to Roger's death in 1985.
He's still good friends with his kid's I believe to this day.

FN TRUE!!
Agreed!! He couldn't even show up for Paulie's Day a few weeks ago! And when he didn't go to Bob Shepard's Wake, that really pissed me off!
I'm the guy that ran on the field and shook his hand at home plate
My friend Eddie Migs cousin was going out & married Sal Durante who caught the ball that day.
I liked the Bank of America presentation; it's a shame it doesn't allow comments.
Is this guy related to jimmy ?
