Trying to salvage a conversation out of this........................
For Clemente, who already had his 3,000 hits and place in the HOF assurred, the way he died adds to his popularity as a humanitarian and the value of his life.
For an emerging star like Lyman Bostock, I think it significantly hinders the value of his cards, as he didn't get the chance to make the most of his talent.
In 526 games and 2004 AB, Bostock hit .311, with 624 H, 305 R, 250 RBI, and 48 SB.
