PITTSBURGH – The timing could not have been better for Reds right-hander Michael Lorenzen.
The Reds happened to be in Pittsburgh on Roberto Clemente night.
“It means everything to me,” he said. “It’s perfect timing.”
He was born 20 years after Clemente’s death, but Lorenzen is a walking tribute to Clemente every day.
“I wear 21 in honor of Roberto Clemente and how he played the game and what he stood for,” Lorenzen said.
