...why don't you ever want to appreciate a white player????--I know--you hate whites

I don't think thats taking anything away from white players at all. I would still put Babe Ruth as the best of all time though. Won 3 world series games as a pitcher and then turned around and put up over 700 lifetime home runs with a .690 slugging percentage.
Hispanic players like Clemente though added a different kind of energy and I think, only upped the competition.

Roberto Clemente was my favorite baseball player of all time. I attended his first game on April 17, 1955. He was one of the best hitters of all times and had the strongest throwing arm I ever imagined possible. I was at a New Years eve party in Germany on 12/31/1972 when his death was announced all the BB fans at the party were subdued for the rest of the party. I refuse to believe the news.

Clemente was a humble and gracious man and died while delivering aid in a plane he chartered for earthquake victims. He will always be remembered.

Sounds like a good reason for tacos.

Do you need a reason? I took my boys to the North End of Boston last weekend for no particular reason. Amazing food every ten feet or so! I was full from just the smells after walking a few blocks. No tacos though.

Never, but being that it is gardener appreciation month, they just seem to taste better.

I remember the night he died. That was my last year in little league. I cried.

I think we're more of a salad bowl than a melting pot.
