Next up, ARE YOU MY EVIL TWIN, OR AM I YOURS?

I have used those exact words regarding Roberto for almost 50 years. Except it was my dad who told me.

I saw Roberto throw out Johnny Bench trying to go 1st to 3rd on a team mate's single.

Clemente was maybe 5 feet from the warning track and he threw him out by 3 steps. That throw is burned into my baseball memory forever
