Clements spent 17 years in pro ball from 1884-1900 mostly with the Philadelphia Phillies. He had 77 home runs, (considered a lot for those days), 687 RBI’s, and a career .286 average with a .347 OBP and a .421 slugging percentage. Though his numbers for those days were acceptable to above average, what one thing separates him from every other player that held his position?

IIRC, without looking, he was a left-handed catcher.
Not unique, but very rare, and he holds the record for games played by a LHC, by quite a large margin.
