Clemente's 3,000th Hit Bat: Am Incredible Story


My friend Nina Schreiner sent me this article from ESPN the Magazine, and Bob Smizik has a link to it on his blog today, and I feel compelled to do the same here:

http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/page/Roberto-Clemente-bat/enduring-mystery-roberto-clemente-bat

It is a story written for the Magazine by Kevin Guilfiole, son of former Pirates PR Director Bill Guilfoile.  It a story as compelling as any movie you will see or mystery novel you might read. It is about the bat that Roberto Clemente used - or did he? - to record his 3,000th, and final, major league hit.

I won't try to summarize it.  Just read it!
