Wow! If anyone would know what team he was in for the 1951-52 season, I guess it would be Clemente himself. Makes me think his bios need to be updated. They seem to suggest he was discovered playing for the Mules following that 1951-52 season.

Great detective work Howard!

I don't know very much about Clemente the specific person at all (except for the basic generalities often repeated), but that questionnaire seems to have been written by someone quite comfortable with (fluent in) English. Is that piece, in fact, known to have been actually written by him? Does the handwriting match? Or is it possible someone else wrote it up for him to sign? Again, not much knowledge here (and he was obviously bilingual), but I was always under the impression that he had a bit of a tough time speaking English effectively early in his career. Have I been just flat out wrong thinking that??

I just went to look the item up. It sold in the November 2009 Lelands sale. There is a second page. The description states it was filled out by someone else and signed by Clemente.

Mark,

Did you pick up either Brooks photo?
Yes; picked up both the b&w and color snapshot photos. Thanks so much for the heads up on the photos. I don’t always keep up with eBay on Brooksie items so sometimes nice pieces are missed. I don’t have a lot of snapshot photos, but there definitely seems like a much higher price needs to be paid if you want to add to your collection.
