I have a lot of friends from Puerto Rico, and they all, all of them, revere Roberto Clemente. I gave a friend of mine a 1968 Topps card of his, and my friend was in tears. If there can be such a thing, he was Babe Ruth to them. And I remember myself being in total shock that he was gone. The seven game 1971 World Series is one of my all-time favorites. I am a Yankees fan, but I would be perfectly okay with the Pirates being good again.
