Dave Roberts owns one of the most iconic stolen bases in the Boston Red Sox history since it helped to halt an 86-year World Series drought. The Red Sox fans love Roberts. This has certainly helped Roberts identify with Mookie Betts’ trials this weekend.
When Roberts returned to Boston after helping the club win it all in 2004, he did so in a Giants uniform. That didn’t stop the Fenway faithful from expressing their appreciation before his first at-bat.
The Dodger manager spoke with reporters after Friday’s 7-4 win and touched on what Betts is experiencing.
