1968
schroder signed with the giants in 1964 after attending loyola university new orleans. after a partial rookie pro season spent in the low minor leagues, schroder was promoted to san francisco's 40-man roster for 1965 and stayed with the mlb team all season. under the amended 1962 bonus rule, major league clubs were compelled to keep players like schroder on their 25-man roster for their first full season in baseball or risk losing them to another team. schroder, 20, got into only 31 games and had only ten plate appearances for the contending 1965 giants. he then split the 1966–1968 campaigns between san francisco and the triple-a phoenix giants. in 1967, he played in 62 games for san francisco and logged 135 at bats, his mlb career highs. all told, he batted .217 during his time with the giants; his 48 hits included five doubles and one triple.

each major league baseball team maintains both a 25-man roster and a 40-man roster of players. players on the 25-man roster are eligible to play in official major league games throughout the season. the 40-man roster includes the players on the 25-man roster plus as many as 15 players who are either on the team's seven- or 10-day injured list, who are on paternity leave for up to three days, or who are in the franchise's farm teams in minor league baseball. from september 1 through the end of the regular season, any player on the 40-man roster (also referred to as the "expanded roster") is eligible to play in an official regular season game. many young players make their major league debuts in this way, as "september call-ups."
