Former Giants major leaguer Dave Roberts has lymphoma

Dave Roberts, a former major-league baseball player, who spent the last of his ten-year career in SF for the Giants is being treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Roberts was diagnosed in mid-March and he says the cancer was detected early. He says the prognosis is "good." He has undergone two rounds of chemotherapy so far.

It was Roberts' stolen base for Boston in the 2004 playoffs that sparked the Red Sox to an elusive World Series championship.
