I once witnessed personally Clemente throwing out two different runners at home plate in a single inning

neither throw hit the ground, each a frozen rope from the right field corner

the best was a friend saw him retrieve a single down the right field line, with a runner on first
he did a pirouette (270 degree turn) and tried to throw out the runner attempting to go to third base

HE THREW THE BALL INTO THE UPPER DECK OVER THIRD BASE
the guy had a pure rifle
for this feat, he earned a standing ovation
he did not tip his hat, but rather walked quietly back into position without any acknowledgement

Clemente was pure class, the best of the best !!!
