[Mark]

I grew up on a small farm not far from Pittsburgh, and I remember being very young and walking with my father to feed the animals. I distinctly remember asking him who the Pirates' best player was. He paused for a couple of seconds and said "probably Clemente." Not long after that, Clemente became my favorite player. About that time (before I could read), my mother cut this card from the back of a cereal box for me, and it's probably the one card that I'd most hate to lose.
