In September 1971, Clemente was included in that days' lineup by manager Danny Murtagh. It was the first time in MLB history that any team started a lineup comprised of nine players of color.

I remember been in shock hearing the news the next morning. Roberto had led the Pirates to a World Series Championship and won WSMVP the year before. After earlier in the year suffering the heartbreak of the Reds scoring 2 in the bottom of the 9th to secure a comeback walk-off win in game 5 of the NLCS, this was a double gut punch. Here are some of my favorites.

Clemente
Here are some of my Clemente cards. Picked up a 1963 Pirates team autographed baseball about 2 years ago. One of my favorite pieces.
