		<description>Yes, it would be great, especially given who wathces baseball.  I&#039;m sure they are &quot;out&quot; there (ok bad pun).

But I don&#039;t get it...Americas obsession with proffesional sports.  I was an athlete in high school and college and got a lot out of it, and my sister makes her living training amateur athletes, but why this professional obsession? Athletics should be for participating, not sitting around with your big bellies watching. Drug addicts, spousal abusers, gun weilders etc...I don&#039;t see why we admire and uphold these people.

I&#039;ve been to baseball games at the 3 boxes my company maintains and it is so boring.

America has lost its values and morality and judging but what I see in the houses I go into for my renovation business we have absolutely no style or regard to art and antiquities that should be part of our cherished national identity.

Instead we obsess over other people&#039;s athletic prowress all the while surrounded by beer signs, cheap furniture and unframed posters instead of art.

I&#039;d like to see a gay athlete simply because the joe six-packs need to see it, but I&#039;d much rather see America get a cultural education and return to the days when people like Jackie Onassis and Phil Conger knew the value of our national heritage, which is not baseball.</description>

		<description>The photo you write about is, I believe, the one taken where Clemente is standing on 2nd base after hitting his 3,000th hit. Of the many photos of Clemente, it is my favorite. There is a wonderful collection of Clemente photos and memorabilia at the Clemente Museum in Pittsburgh, run by Duane Rieder with the blessing of Vera Clemente. It&#039;s worth a trip to visit.</description>
