On October 11, 1972, Roberto Clemente took the field for what would be the final game of his legendary career — Game 5 of the NLCS vs. Cincinnati. Just days earlier, he had notched his iconic 3,000th hit. Though the Pirates fell that day, Clemente’s legacy was already eternal — both for his greatness on the field and his humanitarian heart off it. 🖤💛
