More Description"I loved baseball more than anything," said Roberto Clemente, the first great ballplayer from Puerto Rico. Now in Spanish, readers will learn how despite physical pain from injuries and emotional pain from the racism of the 1960s, Clemente wowed major-league fans with his amazing fielding, throwing, and hitting.
