Today is Roberto Clemente Day in MLB. A great person thats for sure.
I saw the last game that Roberto played in the majors. It was the fifth and game of the 1972 playoffs between the defending World Champio Pittsburgh Pirates They playeD Cincinnati and lost when Pirate pitcher Bob Moose threw a wild pitch and George Foster scored to give the Reds a victory. AS Reds fans celebrated, I watched Roberto walk off the field with his head up high. There were rumor that Clemente might retire. But no he dies in a plane crash on New Years Eve giving supplliesw to earthquake victims in Nicaurauga.
God bless # 21
