1972: Clemente and # 3,000


Image result for clemente # 3,000 images

The great Roberto Clemente got # 3,000 on this day in 1972.   It turned out to be his last major league hit and at-bat because he died in a plane crash 3 months later.  

I recall reading about # 3,000 the next day in the sports pages.  
Sadly, I recall hearing about that plane crash too.  It was a shock!
