Teams give out bobbleheads of good players. A Ryan Roberts bobblehead will be given out September 24. Ergo, Ryan Roberts is a good player?
Hitting .257 with a career-best 10 home runs to go along with 27 RBI and nine stolen bases, the tattoo-laden infielder has become a fan favorite in the Valley of the Sun.
“What a difference a year can make,” Roberts said on Sports 620 KTAR’s Gambo and Ash show Monday. “I would have never expected it. That’s the great thing about this game. You just keep grinding and keep pushing, and any time can be your time. Having the strength to keep getting through last year is paying off now.”
