Roberts still holds UCLA's career record for stolen bases with 109, and he set the school single-season record in 1994 with 45. He still holds Top 10 marks for triples (fifth - 10), at-bats (fifth - 784), walks (T-sixth - 128), hits (ninth - 242) and runs scored (10th - 177). Roberts played 10 seasons in Major League Baseball with the Indians, Dodgers, Red Sox, Padres and Giants and helped lead the Red Sox to the 2004 World Series title. Roberts' memorable stolen base and tying run in the ninth inning of game four of the 2004 ALCS set the wheels in motion for one of the greatest comebacks in postseason history, as the Red Sox became the first team in MLB history to overcome a 3-0 series deficit. Following his playing career, Roberts turned to coaching and was named Dodgers manager in 2016, winning National League Manager of the Year honors in his first year after leading the team to the NLCS. He has guided the Dodgers to the World Series in two of the last three seasons. He has guided the Dodgers to the World Series in two of the last three seasons.
