[poppahyman]

[OleScrubby]

did he get a standing ovation?

cos he deserved one

[kyleskash7]

Its funny how 3 minutes later they booed the hell out of barry bonds

[tristen539]

he helped the red sox win the 2004 world series

[berserktripon]

Great guy, he deserved that ovation.

Traded away from a starting roster spot, he never complained, bode his time. He was there for one reason...and in the biggest possible moment ever, he came through.

This was the Sunday--I think the Bonds looking K was the Saturday, because I remember listening to that game on radio. I think Okajima struck him out. It was a great moment. In this game, Bonds homered.

[arceustamer14]

I was at this game! This is also the game that Barry Bonds struck out on 3 straight pitches, looking.

Dave Roberts is beast.

[Salguero104]

ahhhhhhhhhh i remember "the steal" ps yankees suck

[cuthbertallbad]

Steal o' the century!

[1982SD]

San Diego's own Dave Roberts. The Padres should have never got rid of him.

[Nokomis215]

i know! he is the most underated player in baseball

[jps8080]

Also, note, this was the Sunday game in the series. Not his first game back....

[VladimirSkaletsky]

Yeah, I remember watching that--it was loud as fuck. And deservedly so--without his steal, Red Sox might not have overcome the Yankees. It was that big a play.

[masslib]

VladmirSkaletsky, that was the MOST IMPORTANT play in the history of the Red Sox. Period, end of story.

[squeakycentral9]

agreed

[jps8080]

It was the first at bat, but the sound was from a tiny mic on a still camera from way out in the bleachers, that's why it doesn't sound as loud as it was.

[BillyBear]

I remember seeing that, but the audio doesn't do him justice...meaning the screams and the ovation was way louder than that...unless this isn't his first at bat.

[Sunsplndr]

Very cool! Totally deserved that! :)
