You’re talking about back when pitchers hit and we still had “bat boys” in the dugout. Yeah, I liked to hit too.
Clemente was exactly what I wanted to be as a player when I was a young kid except I couldn't hit like him. I decided to become a pitcher instead.
For real Chap? We all hit and swung wood bats as well. I loved the Stan Musial model Louisville Slugger.
LOL— Yeah, somebody gave me one I assume because I posted something one time that they disagreed with…
Clemente was my favorite player, and the Pirates, now the Braves. But, never followed baseball too much after the strike. I used to listen to every Braves game with Milo Hamilton and then watched on TBS.
He’s surely got to harness that big stage adrenaline. He will be back and he will be able to stay focused and pitch his game I do believe.
