Father of Dodgers’ manager Waymon Roberts, 68, was a former U.S. Marine and spent nearly three decades relocating from one military base to another.
In light of the news, manager Dave Roberts left the team to be with his family during a shocking, difficult time. Bench coach, Bob Green and Oklahoma City manager Bill Hasselman will manage the team during Roberts’ absence.
During difficult times like these, we’re reminded that baseball is much more than just a game. It brings people together. The entire Dodger team and staff reacted to the tragic news and send their best wishes to the entire Roberts family.
