Gilbert MainesWow George, I've never previously heard anything but accolades
for Clemente. Thank you for sharing an opposing view. My favorite
unfavorite player is Whitey Ford, who demanded and achieved
treatment as a prima-donna. It always seemed to me as if his
start had to be rescheduled because of the threat of rain,
an ill wind, or the fear of it, unfavorable karma, or some
other triviality.
Now it is true that I am not a fan of the Yankees, and am
particularly tough on Mantle, but this guy really ticked me
off with his antics. Now I recognize that his stats speak volumes,
and he is quite an accomplished pitcher, much like Clemente is
also an accomplished player. I guess that not everyone can be Hank
Aaron.
