Actually its true that is why he changed his name , but according to my good friend former major leaguer the late Pete Whisenant the players nickname for him was ROGER -RED ASS .....Most often used behind his back or to get his goat .....according to Pete he was sensitive about it and would throw him into a rage. For obvious reasons the opposition would use this to their advantage
