Fresh off the 1960 World Series crown as the Pirates beat the Yankees in dramatic fashion, presented here is the Bob Clemente's 1961 Topps issue, a season he would torch National League pitchers for a .351 average. You can't top that, as he won the batting title.
Side note: Why did it take Topps so long to finally start calling him Roberto (rather than Bob) on his cards?
It's also hard to top this PSA MINT 9 of his 1961 Topps issue, as there are a scant (2) graded higher in PSA's Pop Report. This card is as rare as a talent like the great Roberto! A classic image of the legend looking regal in his Bucs colors.
