Clemente: Almost A Dodger

When you think about the great outfielders who played the game, many come to mind, Mantle, Ruth, Aaron, Mays, Trout, Robinson, Griffey Jr., and Clemente. When you talk about great outfield arms, the list narrows some especially from the RF position. But some players are known for those cannons they possess. And the Dodgers had two of the best, and almost a third, Furillo, Mondesi, and then Clemente. Yep, he was almost a Dodger. You can add Betts, who has shown off his gun a few times in the last couple of seasons, and the more undisciplined Yasiel Puig, who had a gun, but sometimes misfired the wrong way.
