Some excellent points have been made on here.
I think that sports fans always have and always will give more love to the athletes who play on offense.
Comparing Clemente to Koufax is the same as comparing Wayne Gretzky to Patrick Roy (a goalie). Like Gretzky, Roy was also very valuable to his team. He was so difficult to score on and won the Stanley Cup four times. Without him in net, there is no way his teams (Montreal and Colorado) would have won. Of course, hockey fans are always going to discuss Gretzky, Lemieux and all the other forwards who'd put the puck in the net night after night. You're not going to hear much about Roy.
