@OleTimeHardball That is not so anymore. Stats back it up.
@OleTimeHardball My favorite player if all time. Watched him, at what turned out to be his last game at Dodger stadium, throw a laser from the base of the outfield fence at the 385 sign to home with no bounce. 😎
@OleTimeHardball Interesting quote . Certainly not the way the game is played today . Ballpark dimensions are big reason for the switch
@OleTimeHardball Forbes field was not a hitters ballpark, it was a pitchers ballpark! Clemente was right!
@OleTimeHardball Plus, he was a fabulous baserunner.
@OleTimeHardball Might be the greatest all around player that ever lived.
@OleTimeHardball Just GM candidate Doug Whaley said if Clemente played to he would be a utility infielder. Pulled in the late innings for defense reasons. He’s been on a roll since his JHam comments. Watch out Bradshaw is next on his hit list. Oh, and the Chief would be a towel boy😂
@OleTimeHardball Similar mindset with Tony Gwynn. Wade Boggs. Ichiro. Along with a high batting average is a high on base percentage. Essence of baseball.
