Key Features

Description

A moving, exquisitely illustrated picture book biography of Roberto Clemente, legendary Latino baseball player, pioneer, and humanitarian.

On an island called Puerto Rico, there lived a little boy who wanted only to play baseball. Although he had no money, Roberto Clemente practiced and practiced until-eventually-he made it to the Major Leagues. As a right-fielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates, he fought tough opponents-and even tougher racism-but with his unreal catches and swift feet, he earned his nickname, "The Great One." He led the Pirates to two World Series, hit three-thousand hits, and was the first Latino to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. But it wasn't just baseball that made Clemente legendary-he was was also a humanitarian dedicated to improving the lives of others.
