I ain't too far behind you. I saw every one of those guys on his list but Clemente. Unfortunately, Clemente died before I was born. Knight you must be pushing 50 to have seen and remember Clemente playing. Bet ya need a really big screen to play on......LOL.

You bastard!

Not quite pushing 50 yet....but pushin' 46.
I remember the '71 and '72 seasons pretty well and Clemente in particular because I had just scored his Topps card off my older brother in a game we called "throw down" that involved baseball cards(and not fighting....one of the few)
...and when he died...my bro wanted his card back.
That game of throw down did involve fists(it's a good thing I was always a pretty big kid )
I still have the Clemente card somewhere.(along with tons of late 60's and '70's baseball cards)
