Did none of the Pittsburgh papers do a special edition on January 1 about Roberto's death? I know I have my LA Times that I bought at the time.

I don’t think I’ve seen a special edition dedicated to his death.

Wow, this thread truly mirrors reality. Untold numbers of pages celebrating Roberto Clemente's career and all of the joy it brought to fans...and then BOOM!!!...a sudden turn of events at the end as he dies trying to help shattered people. So depressing. So realistic.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

But also uplifting, if one recalls and is able (in some small way at least) to embody the oft-cited sentiment attributed to him: "[if you have the chance to help someone, and you do not make the most of it], you are wasting your time on this Earth."
