Dave Roberts was formally introduced as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.
Roberts repeated his gratitude to management for bringing him back to Dodger Stadium, where he appeared as an outfielder during his 10 major league seasons.
He was back in a Dodgers' uniform on Tuesday as the franchise ushered in a new era and moved on from a split former manager Don Mattingly said was mutual.
On Tuesday, general manager Farhan Zaidi, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and owner Magic Johnson were alongside Roberts.
"For me to have an opportunity to put a Dodger uniform on again, it's come full circle," Roberts said.
