Part 2/9:
Roberts expressed genuine excitement about the return of baseball after a lively off-season. "I've got that itch and so I'm ready to get back to the grind," he remarked, demonstrating his passion for the sport and leadership role he plays with the Dodgers. Growing up as a Lakers fan, Roberts reminisced about iconic moments in sports history, such as Pat Riley’s bold prediction of back-to-back championships for the Lakers in the late '80s. While acknowledging the pressure that such declarations can bring, Roberts suggested he might hold back from making similar guarantees for his team, despite believing fervently in their potential.
