His stolen base in Game Four of the 2004 ALCS turned the tide for the eventual World Series Champions of that year.
Dave Roberts now faces a new challenge—manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Roberts had been a finalist for the job along with another former
Carmine Hoser from that year—
Gabe Kapler. In his 45 games with the Red Sox, Roberts hit .256 with 5 stolen bases. Earlier in 2004, he swiped 33 bases for the Dodgers. Of course, the
biggest steal of his life came against
Mariano Rivera. We wish Dave all the best!
