I'd take Willie Mays, but Clemente is certainly a worthy candidate. And hey, their careers overlap almost perfectly, so maybe I get two for the price of one!
Excellent use of language and inspiration with your way back machine Patrick. Really enjoyed going back to the "70's" and remembering about the time frame of Roberto & the Pirates. He was a great player and human being. It's a shame that his life was cut short.
As far as a player I would like to see play the game, it would be Shoeless Joe Jackson. He was born in Greenville SC, so we have a nice museum next to our ballpark in his old home where he died. Love your stories...
Thanks, Ed. It's an impossible question, because once you get started listing players you wish you saw, it's very hard to stop. But Shoeless Joe is a great choice.

Hey, I'm always up for a bargain!
