Give Dave Roberts his flowers.
As the Dodgers manager and his team are headed to the World Series, again, let’s reflect on the challenges of the 2024 season.
The year was abundant with injuries and position changes, but Roberts persevered and set up his players for a deep postseason run. The Dodgers are just four wins away from winning the Fall Classic.
After the Dodgers won the National League Championship Series on Sunday night, Roberts moved into sixth on the list of manager with the most postseason wins in MLB history. Roberts trails just Joe Torre (84), Tony La Russa (71), Bobby Cox (67), Dusty Baker (57), and Bruce Bochy (57).
