I think a baseball site is the only place a I know where strutting old fart credentials is a thing.
60 year old Reds fan here, incredibly jealous that you got watch Clemente in person. Always one of my favorite players.
Watching the Big Red Machine in the 70s was one of the first times I questioned the value of Wins in evaluating pitchers. Reds pitchers won the most games in 75 and 76, but no one would have called them the best staff in baseball. Nascent Sabermetrician maybe!
