David Wayne Roberts is one of the reasons I am a Padres fan. On June 7,1972 Dave Roberts was drafted by the Padres, Dave made his major league debut that same day. While Dave was making his major league debut, I was attending South Eugene High School with Dave's' sister Jill. That is when I started following the Padres, and then in 1975 I got to attend my first Padres game while I was going through Navy boot camp in San Diego. I know Willie McCovey was playing and think Dave was also playing. He played for the Padres through 1978, then played 2 years in Texas and a year each in Houston and Philadelphia. I have met Dave at a couple of local card shows and he is a very nice man. I got this signed at one of those card shows. He was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 1994.

Might have asked before, but do you have any pictures with Dave Roberts?
