    Roberto Clemente 3,000 Hit Bat Article

    I just read a great story on ESPN.com and figured I'd share it on here for all to see incase you wouldn't otherwise...

    Roberto Clemente got his 3,000th hit, sent his bat to Cooperstown, and three months later he was dead. He left behind a puzzle that has taken 40 years to piece together.

    Just finished it and came here to post it -- you beat me to it. Extremely interesting, from a memorabilia perspective.

        Really fascinating story. I loved watching the home made movies of Clemente. Like travelling back in time as I was only five when he got his 3,000th hit.
