This topic came up a while back over at the StratFanForum. Clemente is
rated -6 from 1960 through 1965. All other seasons he was rated -5 except for
his rookie year of 1955 when he was a -4. Steve Barkan from the game company
said that, in retrospect, Clemente should have been given a -6 arm every season.
They aren't going to re-issue new versions of any of the seasons from 55 through
72, other 1958 which should be coming in a couple years. Barkan advised that
gamers should edit Roberto's cards and give him a -6 arm on all of them.
As far as ordering Version 13 is concerned, I've found in the past that you
can order in early January and you'll get the stuff only a week or so after the
first people that ordered before Christmas.
