Fourth Week in September
On Sept. 30, 1972, Pittsburgh Pirates star Roberto Clemente collected the 3,000th hit of his Major League career. In the fourth inning at Three Rivers Stadium, Clemente smacked a double against New York Mets left-hander Jon Matlack. The hit would be the last one in regular-season play for the future Hall of Famer, who died in a plane crash on New Year's Eve, 1972.
