Dave Roberts is the first black manager in the history of the Dodgers franchise. As such, people often look to Doc for his wisdom and experience in the racial divide in the United States. The LA Times’ Jorge Castillo hopped on a call with Dave this week, in the wake of protests across the country.
As expected, Roberts finds himself angry and saddened by the fact that very little has changed since his father was growing up in the 1950s. The Dodgers’ skipper sounded off on where he felt that change starts, and why it feels like we have been set back so far.
