It’s good to be old enough to remember seeing guys like that.

It is. It is. How many people remember Roberto Clemente?

His death hit hard as a young teenager. We had heroes back then and he definitely was. Today there is too much scandal and cynicism.

The back story on his death played out in Pittsburgh when they revealed he boarded the plane to Nicaragua because he wanted to stop the looting that was going on during the relief flights.

We were a lucky generation in many ways to have lived when we still had a righteous country.
