Today my topic is Johnny Roseboro. One of the things I often wished was that I had been able to see Campy play when he was at his peak. Even one year in LA would have been nice, but it was not to be. So for my formative years watching the game, our catcher most of the time was John Junior Roseboro.
He was born in Ashland, Ohio on May 13th, 1933. He enrolled at Central State University. He was signed by the Dodgers as an amateur free agent prior to the 1952 season and began his pro career with the Sheboygan Indians of the Wisconsin State League.
