To answer the question on stolen bases, first he was a fabulous base runner but second, and most people don’t know this, he was in a bad car accident before the Majors. He was plagued by a bad back after that for the rest of his life. That’s why he got the bad wrap that he was a hypochondriac. People always talk about Mantle’s knee but they never talk about how hindered Clemente was. Imagine having a bad back and playing as hard and as long as he did.

This was great as a huge Clemente fan. I scored 212. Some highlights are 1955 in a 5, 1956, 1957, & 1963 in a 7, 1964 in 8.5, 1972 & 1973 in 9's. Thank you all for your great channels!

I have Bing Crosby's personal subscription issue of Clemente's only Sports Illustrated cover from 1967. Bing Crosby was part owner of the Pirates for a time but I don't believe so in '67. That Clemente SI is in many SI collectors top 10 SI's, gorgeous cover! Also, inside is a story Muhammad Ali being sentenced for draft evasion.

Love this series and as you know I play along each time. The banter was entertaining on this one. Clemente Collector brought the humor (will check out his channel). Came in last with 152.5. I would play with Gauntlet Rules for Banks if you ever want a fan to come on. Schmidt is in the era you will smoke me because outside the rookie (and generally from 1973 onward) mine are raw.

This is the only SS I've been able to compete in as I never owned a slab until May of 2021. Since then I've completed the Baseball HOF RC Player run from 55-up and complete Topps sets from 73(my birth year) up. My score on Clemente was 191.5.

3:52 That is your point of view, many others would give that to Lemieux. He spoke french when he arrived, but embraced the city and still lives there. Brought Cups to the city during and after his playing days. And he deferred salary to save the organization. A Healthy Mario, and he would have shattered Gretzky's goal record. Lemieux is in the conversation of the greatest hockey player. I don't think Clemente falls in that.

@ClementeCollector 5 ай бұрын

CVMGAM- All fair points. When I think of a Pittsburgh Mount Rushmore Lemieux would definitely be on there. I think Clemente’s untimely death before he was retired makes it hard to judge what his impact could have been post retirement. Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!

@CVMGAM 5 ай бұрын

@@ClementeCollector Your Pittsburgh Rushmore ? Probably Lemieux, Bonds, Clemente & Honus Wagner. Here is the truth. As we get older and we start to die off, people will forget or not care. The time will come when Crosby will be bigger than Lemieux (God help us), and maybe the Pirates get relocated. Morale ? You have a great collection ! Focused collection ! Try to upgrade to really nice examples in high grades.
