HOF 1936; a.k.a. "The Flying Dutchman"
When he die it was so big in Puerto Rico people stop everything. Nobody have any more parties for New Year's. Everybody go to the beach to try to find him. Try to find the body or at least something. I was really hurt for his wife. She went down to the beach every day, too, to pray or see what she could do. I think she is still going down there. Clemente is still on the ballclub. His spirit belong here. You know how great he was in the outfield. And he gives his life for somebody he don't know.

HOF 1975
While Honus was the best third baseman in the league, he was also the best first baseman, the best second baseman, the best shortstop, and the best outfielder. That was in fielding. And since he led the league in batting eight times between 1900 and 1911, you know that he was the best hitter, too. As well as the best base runner.
