Ozzie....you are a dumb ass or you just wanted to be rude ..BUT FOR IVAN RODRIGUEZ TO BE BETTER THEN ROBERTO CLEMENTE ..HE HAS TO BE BETTER THEN JOHNNY BENCH FIRST ..do you think !
" Pudge" Rodriquez could not hold Clemente's frigging JOCKSTRAP! Guillen really sounds like even more of an idiot, with all of the previous crap he has said on the record, with that idiotic statement !
And don't forget that Clemente excelled in the clutch but many of these modern guys get cold feet when the title is on the line. Pudge is great but you can't even compare him with Clemente.
Alomar, the greatest bluejay ever. It's dumb that Copperstown hasn't inducted a single jay dispite those two world series titles. Such bias just because a Canadian team did so well, which explains why. Clemente, the best player who can play today's game, hands down!
Well put, friend. My daughter just asked me the same question about PR players thi Saturday and I put Clemente first, followed by Pudge, Delgado, Juan Gone and Robby Alomar, with Cepeda 6th. The psychological pressure Clemente played under with all of the racism from Ft Myers FL to Pittsburgh would have been unbearable for a lesser man, yet he used it to excel. No comparizon, as much as I idolize Pudge. Clemente was #1.
Pudge used 'roids as well. Clemente on steroids--- no park could hold him.

The best Purto Rican player ever was Celerino Sanchez the great Yankees 3rd baseman in 1973.

Ozzie is stupid.
Roberto Clemente had
12 consec Gold Glove Awards (record)
4 Batting Titles
1 League MVP
.317 career batting average
3,000 career hits (only one of 11 to do so)
5 times led the league in outfield assists
266 career outfield assists (modern post 1950s record)
Even Pedro and the other fellow would disagree. How disrespectful.

Ozzie diminishes his stature when he says no-sense things like that

Couldn't agree more. Saw him play, incredible player. Pudge doesn't come close.

Roberto Alomar was the best second baseman of his era. Maybe the best Ozzie ever saw. Clemente was the best ever!~

You have to look past the stats to 100% understand Clemente.
Clemente was the best hands down.
