Arguably the most famous steal of second in history. (Dave’s in the Red Sox HOF for one steal!) Pinch runner Roberts brought into the game specifically to steal second and get in scoring position. Everyone in the park, both teams, pitcher, catcher, knew he was going to steal. And he did. Great throw, lightning fast tag by Jeter. But not as lightning fast as Dave. My father-in-law from California said Roberts, when he was with the Padres, was blindingly fast but couldn’t hit. I told him we already had hitters. https://www.si.com/.image/t_share/MTY4MjYyNjkwMzYzMDI0NjYx/dave-roberts-si2jpg.jpg

I can't think of a more boring name than "Mike Brown."
Great, funny and entertaining write-up.
Thank you!
