I think it was referenced in an earlier post about the "iconic" nature of Clemente as opposed to Aaron. I also think the "Dying Young" portion of the equation cannot be overlooked as a major contributor to the value. It's the same thing that makes James Dean regarded as a better actor than he was and Kennedy as a President as well.
I agree. It definitely resonates in the American psyche. "The time you won your town the race...."
