The man was friends with Pirate great Roberto Clemente, and Clemente had decided to personally accompany a flight of earthquake relief supplies to their destination of Nicaragua on New Year's Eve, and invited the man along. He agreed to go, but because the Steelers won that game against the Raiders and their playoff season continued, the man's work responsibilities with the Steelers prevented him from accompanying Clemente on the flight. The flight crashed into the Atlantic, killing Clemente and everyone aboard.
Again, sorry for derailing the thread, I just think that's an interesting story.
Not at all. How about Clemente having exactly 3000 hits?
