Roberto Clemente is my favorite ballplayer of all time. He was so beloved in Latin America that he could go to one of the roughest cities in the world, Managua, Nicaragua, with literally a sack full of money to hand out to the kids, and nobody, I mean NOBODY, messed with him. A true humanitarian in every sense of the word.
Most of these commentators never saw Roberto play. Pujols wasn't even born yet. Old film clips just show a little of Roberto's talent. You had to see him play to know how great he was. I saw him play as a kid. I sat in the right field stands many times and watched Roberto throw that ball with precision. Every team had superstars back then but Roberto was the best of them all.
like you i always sat in the right field stands to watch roberto at three rivers stadium what a thrill it was as a high school athlete to play right field there and to take grounders in practice where mazeroski played .
Sadly being from Michigan we didn't get a chance to see Clemente play because there wasn't interleague play. Only what we saw in the paper or maybe the Game of the Week on Saturdays.
My favorite baseball player of all time, and I'm a true blur Chicago Cubs fan. The only jersey I own of any athlete in any sport is a Roberto Clemente jersey. ⚾️💯🙏🏿
Once about 2 decades ago, I had the chance to speak with Maury Wills. I asked him who he thought was the best ball player of his era. I expected him to say Mays, Mantle, or Aaron. But he said, “Roberto Clemente”. I grew up watching baseball in that era, and I knew Roberto was good……but didn’t really know how great he was.
I was a little boy when I Used to see him play against the Mets. It was not often they would get him out. Except Seaver. Seaver owned everybody's ass with few exceptions. God rest both these titans in eternal peace
@@j2thec472 AH merciful is a synonym of Clement, but Clemente in the English language is literally Clement, search stuff first before you try to correct people
Rest in peace, Roberto.❤🙏
Roberto Would've Been Proud Of Pujols Right Now

@@Michael-hq1iq I watched him mostly at Forbes Field. Right field was very short and had a screen.

Clemente was this little white boy from Pittsburgh’s hero in the 50s.
Nice cool award 21 Clemente, which means Clement in English
No. Clemente in English means Merciful.
