Roberto Clemente #21

2007 Topps Triple Threads Triple Relics, Roberto Clemente 5Hx2.
On August 23, 1970, Roberto Clemente had his second consecutive 5-hit game vs Los Angeles. He was the first major leaguer this century to collect 10 hits in two consecutive games. In the Saturday game, Clemente had 5 singles. On Sunday afternoon, Roberto collected three singles, a double and a home run. Danny Murtaugh, the manager of the Pirates, whistled and said: ‘Ten hits in two games! When I was playing, that was my quota for a month.’ It was, sadly, close to the Dodger quota too, as the Dodgers whole team had only 11 hits combined for the 2 games.
