Roberto Clemente 3,000th Hit Associated Press Wire Photo.
Lot 5. Roberto Clemente 3,000th Hit Associated Press Wire Photo. The Sept. 30, 1972 AP photo captures Clemente an instant before he makes contact with a pitch from the New York Mets’ John Matlack. At Three Rivers Stadium in the final home game of the season, Clemente drove the pitch to center field for a double. It turned out to be the last hit of his Hall of Fame career. Three months and a day later, he died in a plane crash while on a humanitarian mission. The 7” x 9” photo, transmitted electronically, is on heavy and somewhat glossy photo stock. The caption is next to the photo. Nice ex-m example.
Winning Bid $134.
