08-20-2002 01:04 AM Roseboro was a good defensive catcher who had a little pop to his bat, a fact almost entirely masked by the Dodger's move to Chavez Ravine in 1962.
Roseboro hit for double digit home runs in three of the four seasons before the move, with a high of 18 in 1961.

 Encyclopedia: Los Angeles Dodgers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The fabled "Boys of Summer" shot down the Bronx Bombers in seven games, led by the first-class pitching of young left hander Johnny Podres, whose key pitch was a changeup known as "pulling down the lampshade" because of the arm motion used right when the ball was released.
The core of the team's success in the 1960's was the dominant pitching tandem of Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale, who combined to win 4 of the 5 Cy Young Awards from 1962 to 1966.
The hitting attack, on the other hand, was not impressive, and much of the offensive spark came from the exploits of speedy shortstop Maury Wills, who led the league in stolen bases every year from 1960 to 1965, and set a modern record with 104 thefts in 1962.

By the time he entered the contest in the fourth inning, the National League had accumulated eight runs, including two-run blasts by Johnny Bench and Willie McCovey.
Johnny Bench hit a monster home run off the facing of RFK Stadium's second deck, and Willie McCovey hit a pair of moon-shots to power the NL to a 9-3 lead after the fourth.
Pitching took over from that point as neither team could plate another run and the NL took home their seventh straight All-Star Game win.
