...charms have had to endure a lot lately-is that practically every October, virtually without exception, one player is singled out for a mystical moment. He may be quite a remarkable player, like Reggie Jackson, or quite an unremarkable one, like Gene Tenace. For Pittsburgh's Roberto Clemente, 1971 was a long overdue moment in the sun.
