Transmitted across the newswire upon the Great One's pinnacle milestone, this 7 ½ x 9 inch photo is date-stamped 10/1/72 on a news-clipping caption that reads, "SELECT COMPANY - Roberto Clemente hit a fourth-inning double off New York Mets pitcher Jon Matlack for the 3,000th hit of his career. 10 others also have reached the 3,000 mark." Typical minor peripheral wear from newsroom usage. This photograph comes with a LOA for Type III from PSA/DNA (1P06497).
