On the heel of his career season in 1961, Roberto Clemente closes out spring training with a flourish. Clemente, last year’s National League batting champion, leads all Pirates in the spring with 6 home runs, 15 RBI and a .343 average. Saving his best for last, he belts two homers into Frank D. Lawrence Stadium’s distant centerfield bleachers in the final spring scrimmage.
