Show by IRONCLAD
Chris Irwin travels to Dodger Stadium to sit down with Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, a four-time World Series champion who won three titles as a manager and one as a player with the 2004 Boston Red Sox. Walking past decades of Dodger history, Roberts reflects on his upbringing in Okinawa as the son of a Japanese mother and a career Marine, the legacy of Jackie Robinson he strives to honor, and the stolen base that sparked one of the greatest comebacks in baseball history. He also opens up about beating Hodgkin's lymphoma, the role of faith and mental health in his leadership, and how Shohei Ohtani and Japan's rising stars are reshaping the game.
