I've been looking and looking, but I can't find out whether Clemente batted third or fourth. Is there someone out there who knows?
Thanks,

In 1960, he cut his time between the third and fifth spot, with the majority of games in the fifth spot.
In 1965, he was regularily in the third spot, but, and I could be wrong, I believe he spent most of his career in the third and fourth spots.
Just check the box scores at baseballalmanac.com"I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it."

I'd bet the ranch he hit 3rd and Stargell batted 4th.Originally posted by runningshoes53It Might Be? It Could Be?? It Is!Comment

I did a quick random sample over the years at www.retrosheet.org, the definitive place to go for box scores.Originally posted by 64Cards
Indeed, most of the time Clemente was 3rd and Stargell 4th. I did see Clemente batting cleanup and 5th here and there.Comment

Did he ever bat as the leadoff hitter very often?

He batted leadoff in 166 games, almost all of those during his 1st three years.Originally posted by Seattle1 View PostComment
