Dave had cancer...cancer didn't have him... Much love and respect chief

[@epicgiraffe1703]

This honestly just increases the respect I have for Dave

[@ATL2021]

You are right

[@porkykorn234]

100 Percent

[@elbowdown1420]

Cancer or no cancer, he is still a great guy with a great family.

[@yoplazmic797]

Dave is a fighter and no matter what might happen he will always be remembered as a very great person

[@christinaalexandra5163]

Now I see you in a different light, Dave. I never knew you had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. My mom is battling an incurable form of thyroid cancer and I understand what your wife, children, and family have gone through. Congratulations to you, may your only battles going forward be in Dodger Baseball!!! Love & admiration always, xx

[@cbebop5]

Prayers for you and your momma Christina

[@JustAGuyWithALongScreenName]

Just lost my mom to cancer on the 24th of April, 2021. Thought I'd be good to watch this. Fuck no. Had to stop it 10 minutes in. Glad you beat it Dave. Everyone else, please keep those you love close. You never know when it'll be the end.

[@trinityerin3766]

I’m praying for you Johnathon ❤️

[@cbebop5]

Prayers for you and your family Johnathan, very sorry for your loss. 💙🙏🏾

[@elbowdown1420]

Argh. Sorry for your loss !!

[@selction]

Dave Roberts is the best manager, even when he had cancer he still didn't give up and always kept going. Dave Roberts is a role model.

[@RolandDeschain1]

Dave seems like the exact coach/manager you always wish you'd had. Kind, compassionate and worthy of respect.

[@jeffreycatania6165]

😅

[@allaneudy5499]

Hell of a fighter Dave... We’re all glad you are here

[@nuejon071984]

Got hitting lessons from Dave at Prime Time Sports Academy in North County when I was playing youth baseball. He was so electric and talented and showed interest in development when he was clearly elite. Fun thing to look back on.

[@nuejon071984]

It was just batting cages, but Butch was a little extra too

[@frankeeee_]

Dave is really a fighter!And that makes me respect him more like I do for the players!❤

[@pat1589]

Much Respect Mr Robert's. Big Dodgers fans from New Zealand. Bless you and your family.

[@ryanslater3013]

Dave has such an incredible story! Hopefully he is our manager for a long time. More titles to come with his leadership!

[@railkingsphotography7184]

Love this man! he fought cancer and won than he fought for a ws and got that too! GOT IT FOR LA! LETS GO!!!

[@airt698]

So friggen beautiful, so glad he's a dodger and not a padre.

[@torresdaniel49]

Dave is the real MVP, so much respect for this man 💙🤍

[@rosannamedina3110]

God continue Blessing you Dave!!❤🙋‍♀️🙏I never knew about this. My Mother had surgery for 1st stage Colon cancer after having her Gallbladder removed this past year and now I have a sister with Cancer. God does Miracles. AMEN 🙂🙋‍♀️🙏 Go Dodgers!!💙⚾️💙 Blessings to your family. ❤

[@DarthXMariano]

Dang this hit hard, I lost my grandma to Hodgkins 3 years ago and it was so difficult to see her change during chemo.

[@CamxCam.]

I'm so happy for him & his family (& the Dodgers) that he overcame such a significant hurdle that many others do not. Baseball & the world in general is better for it.

[@DMA1392]

I needed this Dave. Going thru somethings right now this gave me motivation to get up today.

[@jacobrichardson1952]

Now, all due respect as a New York Yankees/Milwaukee Brewers fan, I always like watching Dodgers and I never talk trash to Dave Roberts plus I die LAUGHING hard when he gets ejected. All that aside, Dave Roberts is a chill player/manager.

[@charliesanchez6838]

Thank God! I TOO JUST been healed from CANCER, I THANK MY LORD EVERY MORNING FOR ALL HE'S DONE FOR ME. I CONTINUE 🙏 FOR YOU MR. DAVE ROBERT 'S

[@bionicsjw]

Dave Roberts I truly an inspiring leader and the Dodgers are truly lucky to have him.

[@thomasyoung1887]

Amazing I'm a red Sox fan when he stole second base to win the world series I knew he was a special player. Thank you Dave ! Get well and Go Dodgers

[@krisisinghood3328]

I had an incredible amount of respect for you, Dave, just from how you carry yourself on the field and in the clubhouse. Now knowing a little piece of your background, this is the kind of dad that I’m striving to be, giving your all to what you love, on and off the field. Incredible inside look at our captain, the man leading the helm, Dave Roberts. Thank you Dave.

[@ccreasman]

Who can’t love this man and his family. Everyone is so poised and positive. Both those kids certainly are sharp and have a great looking future. I remain fully a Dave Robert’s fan, and know he is a class manager. We are lucky to have him!

[@toxicshark3398]

Dave, I am so happy that you beat cancer and that you guys are back to normal. Can’t wait for more dodger baseball

[@peterrodriguez9527]

So happy for Dave, a true fighter 💪. Also, major respect for Bud Black, what a friend.

[@jasongiannaros4091]

I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING

[@superduper9superduper920]

I'm a Hodgkins survivor ,,almost died from it

[@bdogg20101]

[@rbk7876]

[@adrielvazquez3659]

LET'S GO DAVE!!!!!

[@bradfordrodgers1515]

Watching how the Dodgers run their organization from the top down, the kind of players they bring into the organization (winners and great men), to the kind of managers they hire; has made me a Dodger fan! I want to support and root for a team that will do whatever it takes to win Championships and do it the right way! The club has created a culture of winning and excellence and I want to learn from that. As a lifelong Ohioan and Reds fan growing up...there is a clear and distinct difference between how the clubs are run. I'm proud to say I am a Dodger fan. I think these videos, which are wonderfully produced, do a GREAT job of reaching people who wouldn't otherwise know about the Dodger story and help them become fans. Great work!

[@carterrizzuto979]

LETS GO DODGERS

[@jwingnut1]

How can 3 people dislike this? Seriously?? Giants fans....

[@LARULES100]

Miserable people.

[@MrGoldman2323]

What an awesome human being! Being a lifetime Red Sox fan I obviously became a huge Dave Robert’s fan back in 2004. Just the love he has not only for his players, but players and coaches around the league is just awesome. Baseball could definitely use more Dave Robert’s

[@danisafk2]

Glad our captains back home! LET'S DO THIS DODGERS! 💙

[@jennyvega8]

Dave Roberts rocks!

[@ssshiro]

Absolute legend 🙏

[@marcmaza2821]

Wow! Good guy! He’s got a great family! Makes me realizes in the picture with his kids is the best thing to happen!

Respect him and so humble

[@erickayson588]

As a life long Dodgers fan and currently battling NHL, this was an amazing video and truly encouraging. Let's go Dodgers!

[@tysparks598]

I'm busy but just had to open this & give it a like. That's a great looking family, & so glad Dave's better. God bless all Dodgers & their fans.

What a beautiful family. I never realized Dave had Lymphoma.

[@saulrichardson3999]

I take back everything bad I've said about Dave Roberts

[@alexisv9078]

I regret everything I said about Dave Robert's I love this man

[@hanwentian8096]

imo he has always been a great coach. Sadly baseball is a high-leverage sport; even for the better coaches, you still never know which decision they make will lead to fiasco, and when they fail they look really bad all of a sudden. Like who could expect Kevin Cash, as good as he is, would do that in Game 6.

[@elbowdown1420]

He's good people

[@bobstauter9555]

Long long long time Red Sox fan! Dave Robert’s made me this way. Never missed a game in 04 on tv and drive to them when possible. He was a special talent as a player and even more special as a person! Cancer should have k own better than to knock on Dave’s door!!!! I know follow the dodgers daily, but still love my bo Sox🤷‍♂️

[@rosealvarez5548]

that is the best

[@antonionunez5728]

See god heal you and your family amen 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️. Amen god the best 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@baseballdave65]

Hate the Dodgers,lol...but as a Boston guy Roberts will forever be immortal and live in the hearts of Red Sox fans...glad he is doing great now!

[@jacarpio]

Cancer chose the wrong guy to mess with

[@esefo909]

I never knew he had cancer sad well lets go dodgers n white sox

[@carelesswp2740]

Fure Roberts

[@dodgers8187]

Cancer never attacks 1 person it’s a family thing and painful 😣 God bless everyone’s health

What would we have done without Dave

Nice family.

Hi God bless have a good day

[@noelmejia241]

who hired Dave Roberts i remember he beat out other candidates that were ahead of him

[@user-zb9cm1xz3y]

Hey Roberts, your house is in San Diego. Your wife is beautiful, your son and daughter are cool. In Korea, we call you Dolbertz (not bad, but friendly). I hope you can be friends with me. I hope you win the World Series in 2021. Good luck.

[@ODIN_xx]

At 21:49 for a moment there I thought Roberts was hugging Pablo Escobar lol

[@shaindaman13]

Ive said it before and I’ll say it again. They just don’t come any more of a Class Act than Dave Roberts. I had no idea he battled cancer and I always said so. Now I have even more respect for him. What a beautiful Family he has as well.

[@Joshsubia]

The dislikes are different types of cancers. AKA Padres fans

[@Danielle-eo5im]

i had no idea he had cancer!! :(

[@josemeda4592]

Ditto.

[@baseballdude274]

So, you can say that baseball saved Dave’s life

[@johnjacobs5199]

GOD saved Dave Roberts' life!!!!

[@baseballdude274]

I agree, but he wouldn’t have found out about the cancer if he wasn’t a Padres manager. That’s why I say baseball saved Dave’s life

[@hanwentian8096]

@@johnjacobs5199 God didn't save him. He saved himself. If God's in place why he didn't save some other guys, like Chadwick.
