1961 â Roberto Clemente hits a 1st-inning home run and has a 4th-inning outfield assist, in Pittsburghâs 5 â 2 win over Philly. In UPIâs account, Clementeâs name and nationality undergo unnerving transformations: âAlberto, whose 1st inning homer was his seventh of the year, was banished in the 8th inning in a spectacular arm-waving argument with first base umpire Ed Sudol. The fiery Cuban insisted he beat out a grounder to short but was overruled. Before leaving the field, Clemente tossed a cap high above the Pirate dugout.â
