Three months before, we had been riveted by Clemente's pursuit of his 3,000th hit, a feat he accomplished on the last weekend of the 1972 season with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jorge L. Ortiz's "Clemente's Impact Wanes in Puerto Rico 40 Years after His Death" is a news article about baseball Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente and his work for the welfare of his people. The article narrates how the sports icon lived and died, but also left a legacy, making him the favorite son of Puerto Rico.

One statement that shows that he was a superior baseball player was the statement about how he achieved his "3,000th hit" during the "last weekend of the 1972 season with the Pittsburgh Pirates." This event held him in high regard, his achievement proof of his being a superior baseball player.
