Former pitcher Dave Roberts dies

Sat 10th, January 2009

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Dave Roberts, a pitcher who played for eight major league teams, including the World Series champion Pittsburgh Pirates in 1979, passed away on Friday at the age of 64 due to lung cancer.

Roberts broke into the majors in 1969 with San Diego and also played for Houston (1972-75), Detroit (1976-77), the Chicago Cubs (1977-78), San Francisco (1979), Pittsburgh (1979-80), Seattle (1980) and the New York Mets. His overall record was 103-125 with a 3.78 earned run average over 445 games (277 starts).

"Dave was the consummate pro," Astros president of baseball operations Tal Smith said. "He averaged 35 starts and 12 wins a year for the club during his four years as an Astro, but he'll really be remembered and missed for the leadership he provided and for being such a good guy. Our condolences to his family and friends."
