Roberto Clemente giving a tutorial to children in Carolina, Puerto Rico, 1962
Roberto Clemente spent time during the off-season working with kids' baseball teams in his hometown in Puerto Rico.
The arc of Clemente's story is familiar to many Latinos: humble roots, immigrant aspirations, strong bonds to birthplace, and fighting for the dignity of all people. He went from a family of modest means in Carolina, Puerto Rico, to one of baseball's biggest stars. |
