“I would be lost without baseball.
I don’t think I could stand
being away from it
as long as I was alive.”
ROBERTO CLEMENTE

Como era de esperarse, los primeros años de la LNP fueron muy extraños. Las temporadas eran cortas, los jugadores semientrenados, y los equipos extremadamente inconsistentes.
