Read this article this morning about Roberto Clemente. What a wonderful article about a truly compassionate man.
What also struck me was the contrasting player featured in the article. The Anti-Clemete, if you will.

It was a nice read. Thanks for alerting me to it. My favorite quote is at the end when he mentions that the Clemente bat is 4 inches longer than the Mickey Mantle bat. The fact that he's so nonchalant about having both of those bats in his possession is crazy. What I wouldn't give to have that Mantle bat.
