Dave Roberts was thrilled for Albert Pujols after his 700th home run until he remembered they're not on the same team anymore
Dave Roberts seems like such a great friend, man. It’s one thing to root for the success of one of the homies. But to do it when that success literally comes at a cost to you? That’s a real one.
That’s the only way to describe Roberts from Friday night when Albert Pujols hit his 700th home run against his Dodgers. He legitimately made real history against Roberts’ team.
Did Roberts care? Certainly. But he was over the moon for Pujols and we all visually saw it happen. Roberts got up and celebrated after her realized what Pujols did, but then immediately got this dejected look after he remembered…Pujols just did this against his team.
That. Is. Hilarious. Dave Roberts is a real one, man.
It makes sense for him to be happy for Pujols here — he did play for Roberts’ Dodgers last season. They’ve got a legitimate connection here and Roberts seems genuinely happy for one of his guys.
It just…came at his expense. And that’s fine! The Dodgers are sitting pretty, anyway. Real friends are OK with that. Fans absolutely loved this.
