==Early career==
Signed as an amateur free agent by the Detroit Tigers, Rooker spent seven years in the Detroit farm system until he debuted in , pitching 4 innings in two games in relief. After being selected by the Kansas City Royals in the October 1968 expansion draft he made the starting rotation. In he won only four games against 16 losses; however, in one of the losses, on July 7 against the Minnesota Twins, he became the first Royal to hit two home runs in one game. Both home runs were off Jim Kaat.
Rooker improved his record to 10-15 in ; one of the losses came in a 12-inning game against the New York Yankees on June 4 after Horace Clarke broke up〔(Royals lose in 12 innings; Rooker blows no-hit game )〕 Rooker's bid for a no-hitter leading off the ninth with a single then came around to score after a Bobby Murcer double.
