DAVE ROBERTS
How can you tell the difference between the utility man Dave Roberts who played for the Padres, Rangers, Astros and Phillies during the same era (the 70s), and our Dave Roberts, the pitcher? Simple. Our Dave Roberts had the courage to grow a big bushy mustache.
Roberts wasn't a very good pitcher (he was sub-.500 for his career), and he got knocked around pretty good during his year with the Cubs (1978), but he also won a World Series championship the following year with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
