Dave Roberts is wrapping up his ninth season as the Los Angeles Dodgers manager, marking his ninth trip to the postseason and the team’s 12th consecutive playoff appearance.
It hasn’t been easy even though no franchise has had more World Series opportunities over the past decade.
With a .627 winning percentage, Roberts holds the highest win rate among all non-Negro League managers. He has also guided the Dodgers to five 100-win seasons, a feat surpassed only by legendary managers Joe McCarthy and Bobby Cox.
How does Roberts stay levelheaded with a high-stress job like this?
