Clemente with the best arm I've ever seen .... he would spin and throw ropes to 3rd base that were in a different warp speed
ends right at 3000 on a hit off Madlock and dies in a plane wreck ... thank goodness he got to 3000 as he the best RF I've seen

Favorite player I've ever watched is Willie McGee. He still comes back to Busch with Musial, Gibson, Pujols, Ozzie, Brock etc etc and Willie always gets the loudest cheers. Always a fan favorite.
JMONEY said:BD, no disrespect meant......but you really don't want to let me bang your girlfriend for a Koufax rookie card. Trust me, she just wouldn't be right afterwards......:missingte
Don't remember watching Clemente play, but have heard a lot of stories as well. B, I'm about the same as you--can talk any sports from early '80's on. Love talking the old stuff too, but unfortunately can not remember much past that.
JMONEY said:Willie was a great player and one that was impossible not to like. Always played hard, always had a good attitude and was never controversial about anything. A lot of good memories for me growing up watching him here....
You should hear Busch when he shows up still today. He came out on opening day a couple weeks ago and the place just went crazy.

Yeah I am an 80's product. My pops was a big BB fan. So we used to go to the local market (country ass shit) and he would buy 5 mega lotto tix and me a scratchers... If I won on the scratchers, he would give me the money and I would buy a few packs of cards.
Some of my favorites in my generation were Cecil Fielder, Kirby (fat ass) Puckett, Doc Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Don Matingly, Pete Rose, Nolan Ryan, roger Clemens, Bobby Bonilla, Brett (something he played for the Royals) etc. If it was 15-20 years back I could cap bases and beat all these fuckin' books. I had everything on point down to the slug percentage and ERA. I watched baseball like it was my life. Then I got into hockey and never touched a ball until about 3 years ago. I probably would be signing autographs now LOL!
