Saw Clemente hit three HRs against the Reds at old Crosley Field in 1967. Hit one out to each field and drove in all seven runs for the Pirates. He was an incredible all around player with great offensive and defensive skills. Never saw a better all around player.

You sure did. Only 5,222 there. That would've been something to see. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN196705150.shtml Edited August 19, 2020 by morganmonroe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a different cat so I could see him saying I'm ready to play again in the next year or two or I could see him starting up his architect/design business. Not that he needs the $ at all but I could see either one happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) 57 Years ago, August 28th, 1963, Dr Martin Luther King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC... Everyone should read it today... "And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream." "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
