Hall of Fame
Roger Sheridan is a 1967 QU alumnus who was on the basketball and baseball teams. He was a starter in basketball his senior year and could shoot, pass and score, but he excelled in baseball. Sheridan’s best asset was hitting, but he had excellent hands and a good arm. He was always among the team leaders in hitting, and he also led the team playing third and second base. After graduation, Sheridan was drafted and signed with the Washington Senators (now the Texas Rangers), and during his four years in their system, he made it to their Triple A team. At that time there were only 24 Major League Teams, and Sheridan was playing one step below the big leagues. During his final minor league season, Sheridan had a .300 batting average, a .404 on-base percentage, and an .845 on-base slugging percentage. After that 1970 season, he was in a car accident and never played again. Sheridan died in 2006.
