Is this Dave Roberts from Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS?

Most famous steal in Red Sox history.

why is dave roberts a cult hero, but nobody ever mentions bill mueller with the same type of love? is it because that was the only thing roberts did in a red sox uniform, while mueller had a bigger body of work?

edit: just to make sure i wasn't imagining it, i asked some fans i know "who knocked in roberts after he stole second", 1 out of 5 knew it was mueller, 2 people guessed kevin millar, the other 2 guessed trot nixon

Everyone loves Bill Mueller. He just got a job as the highest paid hitting coach in MLB this week too. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

mueller was one of my favorite sox when he was around. always loved him. only guy i ever heard of winning a batting title from the 9 hole. glad to see he's got a good gig with the dodgers (too bad it's with gump little, but who knows, maybe they get along).

Because every hitter in that dugout was capable of knocking in the run...

...but Roberts was probably the only guy who could steal the base. "Thank God we had that guy..."
