Were all the pitchers he was going up against on steroids also? Like all the pitchers bonds and mcgwire were going up against.

I miss Howard Cosell.

Clemente didn’t have a weakness. His defense was amazing and what an arm! Both these guys were great 👍

RIP

Its worth noting that the supporters for RFK are racially diverse as opposed to the apparently all white McCarthy supporters.

When the crowd having a party for McCarthy, also at the Ambassador Hotel, was informed that RFK had been shot, they did not so much as pause but went right on with their party.

The Nixon administration made her out to be crazy when she had more integrity than all those men trying to silence her! She wanted them to do the right thing and that was asking for to much! Sad her husband couldn’t see,but he had no integrity! Man’s world corrupt.

I saw this live, and still remember the Yankees crowd just screaming when he came out for a bow.

This was the Joe Biden of the Soviet Union. The USA is today in the exact same spot the USSR was in 10 years before it's collapse.

I guess everyone has a greatest era of baseball, but to me from the early 1950's through 1980's was when baseball was at it's best.

In that magical 1993 season that ALMOST saw the Giants make the postseason (103 wins and watched the playoffs on TV), Williams had a 2-HR game on April 18. The second one came after an improbable four-run ninth inning comeback to tie up the game at 12 apiece. Matty came up against former teammate Steve "Bedrock" Bedrosian, and clubbed the first pitch into the left field bleachers to give the Giants a 13-12 walk-off win, and Candlestick went nuts.

First Willie Mays, now Orlando Cepeda R.I.P

Those daytime World Series games looked great!

I was born in '59. The best all around baseball player I ever saw, could do it all, was Willie Mays. If fact he was so good he became a cliche. In Little Leage, Pony League, college, whenever someone made a spectacular play, the comment was... "who does he think he is, Willie Mays?"

Roberto was a great player. And an even greater human being.

The announcer said he’s hitting just 304 with the bases loaded. Forward to now and look at the new averages lol

What's the background "wanna to be" Nirvana song called ;-)

Not enough Bill Bathe highlights on the internet

Not to be confused with ex Cowboys safety Bill Bates

I remember buying newspaper back then just to check the sports section to see how canseco did . Idol

How is he not in the Hall of Fame??

Pete Rose was asked in an interview why he didn’t get to start in very many all-star games. He responded “who you wanna sit: Mays, Aaron or Clemente?”

Yaz, Orr and JoJo White were my 3 favorites athletes back when I was a kid growing up in Cambridge. Anybody here remember Big Yaz Fitness Bread?

No better pitcher than Koufax between 61-66.

Willie and Roberto had a magic that no one else had. The way they ran, moved and did their business put them both in a class by themselves. And they were both clutch! . I got to see them both play--they were my two favorite of all time.

Yes

the original asterisk. Barry Bonds was his understudy.

Willie Mays was the best. Mays loved baseball and America loved Willie.

Yeah, no, the answer is Mickey Mantle.

Two great 'descriptions' of Willie Mays in his prime: Three fourths of the earth is covered by water, and the rest is covered by Willie Mays. When Willie Mays hit a shot to the outfield, one of his teammates in the dugout said: "The only man who can catch that ball, just hit it."

We from Pittsburgh knew how great Clemente was and had to hear all of the BS from the large town media outlets--until the 1971 World Series when everyone got to see what we had been seeing for about 16 seasons. And Clemente was 37 years old then! Nothing like him.

I'd love to know what made him think HE was better than Mantle. In their PRIME, Mantle was faster; hit for more average and power and had as strong a throw - ing arm. Fact is MM was better than him between 1956 and 1964 ... The Yankees won the WS in 1962 vs. the Giants and, overall, won 8 Pennants and 4 WS while the Giants won 1 Pennant and O WS in that period. Mantle won 3 MVPs and Mays won O, at that time. Mantle won a Triple Crown which Mays never did. Mays was real "flashy" but if Mantle hadn't had to battle injuries and Alcoholism most of his career, I think he would have gone down as the GOAT of baseball. Even better than Ruth !! Mays was Great; but I think Mantle was even better ! And Mays played with McCovey, Cepeda, Perry and Marichal on some very talented Giants teams; so I don't buy that Mantle played on the Yankees and that gave him an edge. Mickey was the reason the Yankees of that era were so dominant and he goes down with Ruth, Gehrig, and Joe DiMaggio as the great - est of all the Yankees.

Clemente was awesome. So was Willie. RIP both.

@5:28 upper deck CF is insane!

Fastest and most violent swing ever. Plenty have juiced, but none swing bat as fast as Canseco. And its not even close, Canseco swung to murder the ball.

Clemente, great answer. RIP Willie.

Ruth & Cobb were better easy. Ruth stole home 10X , Hit 342 lifetime, 714 HR and won nearly 100 games pitching. Cobb hit 366, stole home 54 Times hit 4190 hits, stole 900 bases. Enough Said!

D Train could bring it back in the day

What a great player and a humble person he was. RIP: Willie Mays

Clemente..mays..rickey henderson...my alltime starting outfield

Wait why does he look and sound like charles barkley

Clemente played most of his career at Forbes Field. The left field power alley in Forbes Field was 406 feet and it was 457 feet to straight away center. Today most of the stadium dimensions barely touch 400 feet, even in straight away center. A player/hitter would have to be a complete numbskull to try and be a right handed (and Clemente hit right-handed) home run hitter with a power alley at 406 feet and center field at 457 feet. Clemente hit with plenty of power. In his 18 year career Clemente hit 440 doubles and 166 triples. He wasn't so stupid as to try and blast a ton of fly balls that would have fallen harmlessly in some outfielder's glove.

high praise

Roberto you got it

Rest easy Willie!

Best player- Babe Ruth Best All Around Player- Willie Mays Best Hitter- Ted Williams

Great pick

If this was the average length of an at bat, 9-inning games would last 7 hours, 12 minutes. (Not an exaggeration.) That’s why there’s a pitch clock.

Alito's wife is not Martha Mitchell in any way shape or form. Martha tried to expose corruption.
