Please Read This is So Needed Now! Repost from Rick D'Alessandris During the unrest we have in today's society, this seems to be a good time to recall September 1, 1971. Danny Murtaugh, manager of the eventual world champs that year, handed this line up to the home plate umpire... 2B - Rennie Stennet CF - Gene Clines RF - Roberto Clemente LF - Willie Stargell C - Manny Sanguillen 3B - Dave Cash 1B - Al Oliver SS - Jackie Hernandez P - Dock Ellis 24 years after the color barrier was broken, the first all-black line-up for a Major League team. I was 12 years old and remembered this day vividly. There were a lot of old timers who cussed to high heaven that they would never follow the Pirates again. As a 12 year old with my friends, we listened to every single inning. Never once thinking anything other than rooting on the Bucs. The Pirates won 10-7. #pirates #RobertoClemente #santuce #Baseball #baseballpuertorico #puertoricansforblacklivesmatter #PrFlagsUp #puertoricanflagsup #boricua #NuyoRican #puertorico #pr #isladelencanto #thegoodlifepr #puertoriqueño #bronx #blackandbrown #blackandbrownunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CBG_tRgJEkK/?igshid=q21ykscrouo1
