But where did that nickname come from? We can thank a former Yankee outfielder from the 1960s for that little invention.Roger Repoz (pronounced re-POZE, as in someone “lying in repose”) not only had a lyrical name, but also...

... when the Kansas City Blues were a Yankees minor league team and before the Kansas City A's traded Roger Maris to the big city. People in towns big and small all across America have long placed their own city's charms and ease and little town blues against the madness they caught on that vacation when they saw Cats, caught the Rockettes and nearly got killed three times in cab rides...

... ago, just imagine. John F. Kennedy was our 35th President. "The Defenders" was #1 on television. Roger Maris hit 61 home runs to take the home run record. Valium and non-dairy creamers were all the rage. "Bye Bye Birdie" was on "Broadway and West Side Story" won the Oscar for best picture.

... the 2-3 worst things that can happen to you – and have a written plan to deal with them. In 1961 Roger Maris hit 61 homeruns without once being intentionally walked. A weird statistic. Who the heck was batting behind him, anyway, some .220 hitter? Think of any new idea. Doesn’t it seem that first come the innovators , then the imitators , then, finally, the idiots ?

... record books anyway. The home run records, in particular, are silly. Remember all the hoo-ha when Roger Maris was about to break Babe Ruth’s record? “Oh, no” said the powers that be. “We’ll have to have some kind of mark, unless he does it in 154 games,” which was what they played before expansion that year.
