DAVE ROBERTS Superstar Manager for the 2020 & 2024 World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers and former Left Fielder for the 2004 World Series Champion BOSTON RED SOX and former Cleveland Indians / Los Angeles Dodgers / San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants. "The Steal" Roberts made a large contribution to the 2004 Red Sox' championship post-season, even though he did not play in the 2004 World Series. Most notable was his stolen base against the Yankees in the ALCS Game 4.

The Red Sox were facing elimination in the bottom of the ninth inning, down 4 runs to 3. Kevin Millar drew a walk from Yankees closer Mariano Rivera. Roberts, who had not played in ten days, came in to pinch run. Rivera threw to first base three times (the last almost picked off Roberts); on the next pitch, Roberts stole second base, just beating the throw.

Bill Mueller followed with a single, Roberts scored, and the Sox went on to win in twelve innings and begin their run of eight straight wins, culminating in Boston's first World Series title since 1918. In 2006, the event was recognized as a Memorable Moment in Red Sox history by the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.

He retained lasting status as a hero in Boston, later receiving standing ovations in Fenway every time he came up to bat for the San Francisco Giants. A must own for Dave Roberts and LOS ANGELES DODGERS / Boston Red Sox fans! INVEST TODAY Before it goes up up up and GONE!
