After his Dodgers time, Branch Rickey was brought in to rebuild a dilapidated Pirates team. The Dodgers had drafted some unknown guy named Clemente as a “bonus baby” and tried to hide him in the minors. Rickey and his scouts found him anyway and drafted him to be part of the core that once again made the Pirates contenders. Sort of Rickey’s revenge for the way the Dodgers treated him.
A few Roberto Clemente fans around FR.
