It is weird to think of certain players not having died young. Ruth easily could have lived well into the 1970s, and Gehrig well into the 1980s, for example. I mean, imagine Ruth being in the press box commenting on the 1975 WS, or Gehrig on the 1986 WS?
Was Clemente a guy who would have stayed involved with baseball, or would he have gone back home and lived an insular life?
