Dave Roberts' Legendary Stolen Base: A Pivotal Moment in Red Sox History
The Setup: A Tense Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS
The Situation: Pinch-runner Dave Roberts takes a calculated risk
As pinch-runner Dave Roberts stepped onto the field in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS, the Boston Red Sox found themselves at a critical juncture. Trailing the New York Yankees 3-0 in the series, they desperately needed a spark. Roberts, known for his speed and daring, was tasked with a crucial mission: steal second base and set up a potential rally.
Opposing him was legendary closer Mariano Rivera, who had already retired the first two batters of the inning. Despite the intimidating presence, Roberts decided to gamble, knowing that it could change the momentum of the game.
