I consider myself blessed top have had the privilege to see Roberts play the game live. Roberts is a prime example of what it means to play the game with heart and dedication considering he almost retired becasue of injury and was able to get back into shape to play the game for many more seasons.
Cheers Gary, on an amazing career!! See you at the HHOF in 3 years!
