BASEBALL: Clendenon Passes On
1969 Mets World Series MVP Donn Clendenon has died, taking with him another piece of Mets history.
What a guy that was. Probably more than any other player, he made the 1969 world champion team.
And there's nothing like skipping school to go to a world series game, especially when it was Game 5 of the '69 series.
