Oliver Builds Roberto Clemente Complex for Pirates
Bradenton Florida AP Al Oliver of the Pittsburgh Pirates is developing a Roberto Clemente complex. The 28 year old slugger batted .321 last season second in the National League and had 198 hits. Oliver says Pittsburgh publicity keeps him from being widely recognized and would welcome promotion if he played for a larger market. He plans to stay with the Pirates and prefers center field to first base while noting the team’s recent division titles.
