He was 83 years old. He was a Member of the Philadelphia Phillies Whiz Kids team that won the penant in 1950.

I had the pleasure of getting to know him in his later years; he was a "Class Act" and a real winner (286 major league wins).

May he rest in peace.

Roberts came up the hard way; no "little league" teams back then. He was the son of a immigrant coal miner who worked his way up thru the ranks (college baseball, the minors and then the majors).
