Alright, so I was digging around, trying to find out more about this baseball guy, Dave Roberts. And you know what? His family background is way more interesting than I thought it would be.
So, I started with a simple search. Just wanted the basics, you know? Who are his parents, where’s he from, that kind of stuff. First thing I found was that this Dave guy was born all the way over in Naha, Okinawa, Japan. Way back in 1972, on May 31st. Now that’s a long way from the baseball fields in the U.S., right?
Then, I dug a bit deeper. Turns out, his dad, Waymon Roberts, was a U.S. Marine. That explains the Okinawa connection. And his mom, Eiko Roberts, she’s Japanese. So, Dave’s got this mixed heritage thing going on – African-American and Japanese. Pretty cool, huh?
I put those details on my note to keep them, you know, tidy.
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
- Dave Roberts: Born May 31, 1972, in Naha, Okinawa, Japan.
- Father: Waymon Roberts, African-American, U.S. Marine.
- Mother: Eiko Roberts, Japanese.
So, I browsed some articles. It also mentioned his mixed background. Makes sense, given his parents. I’m not gonna lie, this family history stuff is kinda neat. You’ve got this Marine dad and a Japanese mom, and their kid ends up being a big-time baseball figure. It’s like something out of a movie, almost.
And there you have it. That’s what I found out about Dave Roberts’ parents. It wasn’t a huge project or anything, just a little curiosity trip. But it was definitely worth it. Now I know a bit more about the man and his roots. It’s always interesting to see where people come from, you know? Gives you a bit more perspective on who they are.
