  • Early on Roberts worked as a fireman on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
  • In 1925 began working as an engineer for the Staten Island Rapid Transit Co. He retired in 1960
  • The dope on Al Roberts was that although he carried a stiff wallop and had a fighter's heart, he was slow on his feet and seemed a sucker for a right uppercut on the jaw.
