Hey Fungo I'm diggin' your avatar. One of the best who ever played! People kind of forget about him because he died so young. I was only seven when Clemente died. (On my birthday in fact.) I had no idea at the time who he was. A couple years later I saw a documentary about him, and spent much of my childhood reading every book about him, going to card shows just to collect his baseball cards, writing poems about him, etc.

He was always one of my idols growing up (along with Say Hey Willie), even though he had already died before I started playing. He played the game the way it should be played and was a great person as well. I have relatively worn Clemente baseball card that is the prize of my childhood collection.
