Roberts, 44, played 10 major-league seasons with five teams. He's most remembered for a key stolen base in the 2004 American League Championship Series that ignited Boston's comeback from a three-games-to-zero deficit to beat the rival Yankees as the Red Sox went on to win its first World Series since 1918.
Roberts played 832 big-league games. He posted a .266 average with 437 runs scored, 23 home runs and 243 stolen bases.
