Dave Roberts Last Quotations

Obviously (the home run) was the last thing on my mind. I went from goat to hero.

I think last year in the World Series, they did some things that were out of character for them, as far as executing. They didn't seem like the same team as this year. They're very relaxed. You just can't really see any weaknesses in that team.

Last year I think the situation we were in was a lot tougher task than the situation we're in right now, because we were down to three outs, and had to win four straight games,

We needed to play hard all game, not just the last ten minutes. We need to work harder and end this series as soon as possible.

This April is going just like last April. But we can't count on a 22-6 May again. We all need to start picking up the slack.

I guarantee we're going to be better than last year. Last year was a fluke. Everybody in the lineup had a bad year. What are the odds that's going to happen two years in a row? It won't happen.

If you look at the last few World Series champions, ... The Angels, and how well that team played together, and the Marlins, a bunch of young guys at that time that just enjoyed being together. That goes a long way.

On behalf of myself, the chair, the vice chair, and the superintendent I would like to apologize to each and every one of you for the anxiety that may have been caused from the presentation given at our last School Committee meeting at the Riverdale School.

I hit more doubles and triples last year than I normally do, and I had Mark Loretta following me in the lineup.

I don't know if we can do that again. But I don't think it can get any worse than some of last month.
