WATCH: David Robertson takes 1st at-bat after 14-year wait |
Chicago Cubs reliever David Robertson had a memorable moment during Wednesday's night blowout win against the Pirates.
Robertson had the first career at-bat of his career during the ninth inning of the ball game. He had waited 695 career games to get an at-bat which is fourth most of anyone in history. “I don’t know if I’ll ever get another opportunity, so I’m glad I did and made my dream come true,” Robertson said to the media following the game. “Even though I struck out.” Check out his at-bat below: With the #Cubs up 14-1 and a shortstop on the mound, veteran pitcher David Robertson takes his first ever MLB at-bat in his 696th career ballgame.
14 seasons.
