Roberto Clemente

Clemente homerun contained by Forbes Flag Pole

Another Forbes Field Four-Bagger – Clemente contained yet again: Roberto Clemente’s 4th-inning, 450-foot drive is good for four bases but, as UPI informs us, he’ll have to run this one out: “Clemente’s clout hit the dead centerfield wall on one bounce.” Its destination is more precisely pegged as “the flagpole in center field” by Post-Gazette writer Jack Hernon. In other words, to the deepest part of Forbes Field, i.e. the 457-foot mark at least 40 feet to the left of the Barney Dreyfuss Memorial in dead center. Clemente’s two-out, bases-empty blast ignites a 5-run rally which turns the game into a very relaxed outing for starting pitcher Vern Law, as the Piratesadminister a 9 – 0 whitewashing to Philadelphia.

Before 70,938 fans in Cleveland, the first-place White Sox top the 2nd-place Indians, 7 – 3, behind the pitching of Bob Shaw. The Tribe now trail by 2 1/2 games.
