My brother is not the baseball fan I am
but he posted this on Facebook yesterday, and I never knew this about my family....
I was at the game with my dad and granddad on July 15, 1967 when a line drive by Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit him in the shin, breaking his leg. He pitched to 3 more batters before falling from the mound when the leg finally snapped. Made quite an impression on a 15 year old kid!
