Baseball History (September 30)

The complete entry for September 30 at BaseballLibrary.com is HERE.

There are a few dates of interest. The final Twins game at Metropolitan Stadium in 1981 and the final Sentators game ever -- notable for the Senator fans swarming the field with two out in the top of the ninth inning causing Washington to forfeit to the Yankees in 1971.

But, today's Highlighted entry is an easy choice:

1972
During a 5–0 win over the Mets, the Pirates'
Roberto Clemente doubles off Jon Matlack in the 4th inning for his 3,000th—and final—career hit in regular-season play.
