ReplyDeleteMrs. Schoenfelder read my answer what you ask to find the question about Roberto Clemente and how he make it more hits.
DeleteRoberto Clemente, the greatest right fielder of all time, records his 3000th hit on September 30, 1972---it would be his last regular season hit. Sadly, three months later, Clemente died in a tragic crash of a cargo plane carrying relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua on December 31, 1972. And Roberto is now one of 11 players in major league history to get 3000 or more hits.
