Default A couple more contributions
Great items Nicolo and everyone else!


I see I posted some items in response to the original post. Found a couple more worth sharing.

The story on the Horne's is kind of cool too. I saw a different player first - didn't know Clemente existed. I thought to myself if another player did this, Clemente "had to"! Also, thought to myself these had to be advertised events!
I found an online newspaper archive and started searching the old Pittsburgh Press and Post Gazette for advertisements. Sure enough I found an ad for a 1 day appearance by Clemente in 1960! Took about 2 years after that till one popped up on Ebay!!

The other item is Clemente's learners permit from Puerto Rico
