    was Rookie of the Year in 1955, beating out, among others, a young Puerto Rican outfielder named Roberto Clemente.

    As far as awards go.

    Off topic, but if I were reincarnated as a baseball player (not a pitcher), I should like to be modeled after Roberto Clemente.

      but Virdon was a stellar player in his own right.  He's rather consistently overlooked because he played his whole career next to Roberto.  

      When "stupidity" suffices, why search for any other reason?
