The Duke of Tralee called and caught 3 Christy Mathewson shut-outs called by many 'the finest performance of all time' in the 1905 World Series. He was the most versatile player of his era having played all 9 positions. He became the first catcher to lead off and hit a stellar .350 in 1903.
Ever the innovator, Roger introduced catcher's shin guards in 1907 and he was the first to experiment with a batting helmet following a severe beaning. He possessed such unusual speed for a catcher that manager John McGraw utilized him as a lead-off man in the Giants batting order.
