Dave Roberts' Historic Stolen Base: A Turning Point in Baseball History

A Pivotal Moment

On Monday afternoon, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts discussed the significance of his historic stolen base in Game 4 of the 2004 American League Championship Series. The stolen base, which set the stage for a remarkable comeback, remains one of the most iconic moments in baseball history.

A Defining Career Moment

Roberts, who played for the Boston Red Sox at the time, had a modest batting average of .292 and 12 stolen bases in the 1995 season. He was promoted to the Lakeland Tigers in 1996, marking a significant turning point in his career.
