1. I know Roberto Clemente has died in a plane crash. He played with the Pittsburgh Pirates and was delivering supplies to a country that had recently experienced an earthquake.
2. Thurmon Munson and Ken Hubbs.
3. Is this a trivia question or do you really want to know... Clemente ( mentioned already ) Thurman Munson of the Yankees, and the Yankee(?) pitcher who last year crashed in NY come to mind.
