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. Roger also introduced catcher's shin
guards.
