Roberts did what his seven predecessors โ including Joe Torre and Don Mattingly โ failed to do, bring a championship to long-starved Dodgers fans.
In Game 4 of the AL Championship Series, the Red Sox were facing elimination when he entered as a pinch-runner.
Boston won in 12 innings, overcame the Yankees and went on to win its first World Series since 1918, although Roberts didn't play in the Series.
