Facing NY special for '04 ALCS hero Roberts

NEW YORK -- Twelve years later, Dave Roberts still hears about the stolen base.

Red Sox fans love him for it. Yankee fans do not, even after all these years.

"I'm not well received at the airport when I come here," Roberts said Monday, as he got ready to manage the Dodgers at Yankee Stadium for the first time.

The steal, of course, came in the ninth inning of Game 4 of the 2004 American League Championship Series. Roberts was playing for the Red Sox, and he was called on to pinch-run for Kevin Millar with Mariano Rivera on the mound.
