On June 19, 1972 With a double, home run and 3 RBI, Roberto Clemente passes Hall of Fame third baseman Pie Traynor on the Pittsburgh Pirates’ all-time RBI list, bringing his career total to 1,275, still 200 shy of all-time leader Honus Wagner. Clemente’s 5th-inning RBI double off Don Sutton ties Traynor’s mark and puts Pittsburgh up by 2, en route to a 13 – 3 rout of the Dodgers. Mike Strahler then gives up an 8th-inning, two-run laser into Three Rivers Stadium’s left field seats. Willie Stargell, will ultimately eclipse both Clemente’s final total of 1,305 RBI and Wagner’s long-standing mark of 1,475.@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF90YWdzIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsiYmVmb3JlIjoiTGVhcm4gTW9yZSBhYm91dCB0aGUgdGVhbXMsIHBsYXllcnMsIGJhbGwgcGFya3MgYW5kIGV2ZW50cyB0aGF0IGhhcHBlbmVkIG9uIHRoaXMgZGF0ZSBpbiBoaXN0b3J5IGp1c3QgY2xpY2sgdGhlIHRhZ3MhICAiLCJhZnRlciI6IiIsImxpbmtfdG9fdGVybV9wYWdlIjoib24iLCJzZXBhcmF0b3IiOiIgfCAiLCJjYXRlZ29yeV90eXBlIjoicG9zdF90YWcifX0=@
