After reading this piece on [url=http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/otl/news/story?id=5543839]Eric Show[/url], it occured to me that there's a ton of this stuff out there.

Would anyone else care to post every biographical sketch or obituary they run across for an ATG player?

My favorite player of all time: Roberto Clemente

Here's a link to a PBS special on him:

A shorter YouTube video, narrated by John Chancellor I believe:

Take 5 minutes and enjoy! I especially love the part that shows the video of him absolutely TORCHING the vaunted Baltimore staff in the '71 Series.
