|  Clemente's Debut 
			
			Today is the anniversary of Clemente's début. I thought I would share this article from yesterdays NY Times. Its about Clemente and the respect Latin players have for him.  I know there are a number of Clemente collector here.  Please share any memorabilia you may have of the Great One.  I'll start with one of my rarest items. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/16/s...r-retired.html

|  Roberto Clemente 
			
			My favorite player of all time, bar none!  I have a cool collecting story related to him... Maybe 10 years ago, I was involved in an REA auction for a ball signed by Puerto Rican players. Roberto was on it, as were Felix Millan, Sixto Lezcano, and a couple others. The REA caption stated there was an unidentified sixth signature, so I magnified it and worked on identifying it... It turned out Vic Power had signed the ball in his true name, "Victor Pellot". I found a couple comparisons, confirmed it was Power/Pellot, and notified REA. They actually credited me online with the work! Now for the cool part...I bid on the ball, sweated it out, and WON. The ball has a place of honor in my collection! |

			Pretty tough to find Clemente on a sweetspot, even tougher to find one from his rookie season:   |
