Golfer 'Chi Chi' Rodríguez was once baseball teammates with Roberto Clemente

In 1973, Roberto Clemente became the first Puerto Rican-born baseball player inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
In 1992, Juan 'Chi Chi' Rodríguez became the first Puerto Rican-born golfer inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
They were once teammates, and the great golfer recognizes the enduring significance of 'Momen,' as Clemente was nicknamed by his family. In July, the 81-year-old icon talked about his dear friend while visiting Cooperstown to celebrate another countryman, Iván 'Pudge' Rodríguez.

Chi Chi was not only a great golfer but the greatest entertainer on the golf course in the history of golf. He won 8 times on the PGA tour but on the Senior tour he won 22 Events and he cashed in a lot of checks from Skins games in the late 80s and early 90s. He was not only a champion golfer but a champion human being. When I was 8 years old I took lessons from Chi Chi at Dorado Beach. I used to see him also hitting drivers over 300 yards on one knee. WOW he was a trick shot artist too....
