Carl Reginald Smith was born on April 2nd, 1945, in Shreveport Louisiana. His father played in the Negro Leagues; his mother was a gifted musician.

Since the Guggenheim Group took over in 2012, the fortunes of the Los Angeles Dodgers have been on a 13-year ride that any fan who lived through the McCourt years should never take for granted.

Johnny Roseboro caught 1,476 games for the Dodgers. He won four pennants and three World Series. And in a sport that ate Black catchers alive in the 1960s, he was the steadiest, smartest battery mate of his generation.
