Clemente list goes is endless I also saw at least one throwout at first base on linedrive once against StLouis, in a single inning Clemente threw two different guys out at home each tried to score from first on doubles into rightfield corner neither throw home hit the ground, each a frozen rope never seen anything like it on earth since heck, I once saw him reach over on an intentional walk he hit a single to right the great showcase for TheGreatOne was 1971 World Series Curt Gowdy called it a showcase for Clemente / JW

Tim (Wstera): You're my man! The throwing out runners at first. Wasn't that cool? I saw it on more than one occasion. And those poor, pitiful souls trying to score from third on flyballs, from second on singles, and from first on doubles. Dead meat, baby! "The Great One" had a cannon best observed from the right field grandstand. Watching him hit was best observed, of course, from box seats for which I never paid. Jim and I had a collection of fake tickets that we used after climbing the wall from the left field bleachers. We were bad. I totally worshipped the man. My TV room is now a shrine to him. Not only do I have that autographed baseball, but I have a large photograph of him (looking up in the sky) behind the television set. His death still affects me. History is not acknowledging him. Playing in a small city was an unjust theatre for a man of such immense talent. He was a recluse who spoke with his bat and arm. Thank God the 1971 World Series carved his statue. Sadly, Cooperstown was only two years away. I think I saw Clemente play "live" over 300 times. Those were the days, my friend, I thought they'd never end. Oh, thoughts of youth, -john-
