About Bob Clemente
The 1966 season these cards report was his best: .317 with a career-high 29 home runs, 119 runs batted in, the first time he drove in 100, and a sixth straight Gold Glove. The writers named him Most Valuable Player on November 16, listing him on all twenty ballots ahead of Sandy Koufax. Card #242 puts him on the runs-batted-in leaders card, second only to Hank Aaron's 127, alongside Richie Allen; #400 is his own fifth-series card.
Roberto Clemente played all eighteen of his major league seasons in right field for the Pittsburgh Pirates, reaching them in the November 1954 Rule 5 draft after the Dodgers left their bonus signing unprotected at Triple-A Montreal. Born August 18, 1934 in Carolina, Puerto Rico, he debuted at twenty and grew into the era's most complete outfielder: four National League batting titles in 1961, 1964, 1965 and 1967, twelve consecutive Gold Gloves from 1961 through 1972 behind a famous throwing arm, and the 1966 Most Valuable Player Award, for which the writers named him on all twenty ballots. He was chosen for fifteen All-Star Games and retired at .317 with 240 home runs and 1,305 runs batted in. Pittsburgh won the 1960 World Series with him, and at thirty-seven he carried the 1971 club past Baltimore, hitting .414 and taking Series MVP honors. His 3,000th hit, a double off Jon Matlack on September 30, 1972, closed his last regular season and made him the eleventh man to reach that mark. On December 31, 1972 a cargo plane he had chartered to fly earthquake relief to Nicaragua went down off the Puerto Rican coast, and his body was never recovered. A special election in 1973 waived the five-year wait and made him the first Latino player enshrined at Cooperstown.
