roberto clemente

I was watching a special on ESPN about Roberto Clemente and it brought back some memories on an earlier story I wrote. This special was in Spanish with subtitles called 'The Clemente Effect' and mentioned a couple of things I had forgotten about.

Monday December 31st, 2012 was the anniversary of the death of (to me) the greatest baseball player that ever lived. I know everyone has their favorite and mine was and still is Roberto Clemente. He played right field for the Pittsburgh Pirates and batted over .290 for 14 straight seasons.
