RIP Preacher Roe

[Tom Petty]

You should read Maraniss' book on Clemente. It's incredible. Chapter about the plane crash will blow your mind and break your heart.

What they said.

Amazing chronicling of both the Dodgers' brain-dead attempt to hide Clemente in Montreal and of the circumstances surrounding the plane crash.

TP, you need to read Maraniss' book, posthaste.

Listening to my grandfather's stories about the Brooklyn Dodgers sparked my interest in baseball as a young lad. He also had a huge influence in me becoming a Mets fan. For that I'm not sure I should be grateful.
