MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Dave Roberts, a left-handed pitcher who played for the 1979 World Series champion Pittsburgh Pirates during a 13-year career in the
majors, died of lung cancer Friday. He was 64.


Roberts died at his home in Short Gap, according to his wife, Carol, and stepdaughter Kristy Rogan.


Rogan said Roberts had developed lung cancer from asbestos exposure as a young man. During the offseasons, he worked as a boilermaker.

Dave Roberts (1962-64) and utilityman Dave Roberts (1981). I&#39;ve been hoping ever since that the Astros could find a way to acquire speedy outfielder Dave
Roberts who has played for the Giants, Dodgers and Red Sox among others. That would make four of them. ]]></description>
