It's a 2005 Donruss Champions game used bat of Roberto Clemente. Clemente was my dad's favorite player growing up and as an impressionable child he quickly became one of my favorites (that later translated to a 100+ card Vladimir Guerrero collection, but that is a story for another time). Anyway, you all know Clemente's story and it was a great one. One that consisted on 3,000 hits (exactly) and surge for Latino's in the Majors and a cannon arm that would make Aroldis Chapman feel like he belonged on a softball field. Ok that was harsh and I may be exaggerating that arm of his, nonetheless he was a great player and I own a piece of history!

Legendary Lumber from eBay
I definitely prefer to trade or buy cards at my LCS before buying off the Bay, but I check pretty regularly for good deals and I usually scroll through all cards sorted by ending soonest when I'm bored late at night...Hey what a man does on his computer late at night is his own business! Anyway I was able to pick up this GEM for a reasonable price of $22.76 shipped to my door.

I have really enjoyed watching on tv all the things that Clemente did - he sounded like a stellar guy.
