My uncle won the Taylor Spink award and was president of the Baeball Writers Association in the 70s. About 15 years ago, dad and I flew to Pittsburgh and spend a weekend with him and Roy Face.
Face was fine and regaled us with stories. Has told us the worst possible stories off the field proclivities about Clemente that you could imagine. My uncle did not confirm or deny. I don’t know the veracity of the claims; I do see Clemente interviews calling my uncle an “asshole” as an “official scorer” of games in the 60s.
