Roberto Clemente: A Video Tribute

I am a diehard Chicago Cubs fan. My father named me "Robert" in honor of Roberto Clemente. This man is the most amazing person that baseball has ever been blessed with. #RETIRE21

[@buddywilliams5650]

He was a very gifted young ball player. Bobby Gibson HOF pitcher from the Cardinals called him "Fearless" at the plate. So many planes have taken away all of very good ball players/good people of or before our time. And, sadly will continue to do so. Because of the sacrifices for this Nation. Wrong place, Wrong Time, every time. Who knows what Roberto could have done in 1973 so on. Properly would have played with the Pirates for a few seasons. And went on to become a Yankee without a doubt with Reggie Jackson #44. Or, even better went on to become a Red with Joe Morgan,Johnny Bench, Pete Rose ect.

Al enterarme y desconocer los detalles tenía la esperanza de que encontraran vivo a Roberto. La tristeza se apoderó de mi islita de una manera como nunca había ocurrido en mi vida hasta ese momento y durante varios días se me hizo bien difícil asimilar, aceptar lo que había ocurrido. De repente no se hablaba de otra cosa que no fuese poner en marcha el proyecto del sueño de Clemente, la Ciudad Deportiva y yo pensaba que era una vergüenza que él hubiese tenido que morir para que se realizara.

No idea how I never this before! I was a 10 year old kid growing up in Pittsburgh when Clemente, and my interest in baseball, died. He was my favorite player, much to the annoyance of my dad, uncles and others, who all echoed the hothead/sandbagger claims. I didn’t care. He was The Great One, and I hated Bob Prince for always calling him Bobby! HIS NAME IS ROBERTO, you drunken old fool! There have only been 2 pro athletes who I consider to be Heroes, Clemente and Pat Tilman. I would’ve loved to see him grow older and become an Elder Statesman of Baseball. I knew when I was 10 that he was a good person but I had no idea until later much later in life when the Internet showed me just how great he was.

[@luishumbertovega3900]

Clemente owed his 1966 MVP award to his then manager Harry 'The Hat' Walker, (see 22:10), a former NL batting champion and a 1-derful hitting instructor who assured Roberto that he should try to pull the ball to left field more often in order to become a powerful hitter and be recognized the same way Mays and Mantle were. Walker predicted Clemente would hit 25 HR, drive 110 runs and still hit over .300. Roberto exceeded Walker's expectations by belting a career high 29 HR, had 119 RBI and a .317 average, which also became his lifetime mark. Hailing from Mississippi one would expect Harry to be like his older brother Dixie, who openly opposed integration by starting a petition among his Dodgers teammates against Jackie Robinson playing with them, but Harry would have none of that, he had no trouble working with Roberto and other dark skinned players.

Great all around player with little power for an outfielder in the 60's. Never hit 30 homers.

[@jadlersen8709]

Clemente actually had very good power, but he played in a ballpark where it was extremely hard for a right handed batter to hit home runs. Clemente, realizing this decided that he was better able to serve the team by learning to hit the ball hard on the ground and for line drives in the various holes in the infield and the outfield, the alleys, etc and he learned to go with the pitch, becoming the most notorious opposite field hitter in the game. Clemente was so prolific at hitting power shots to right field that he became known in a joking was as the most dangerous left handed batter after Willie McCovey and Billy Williams (he was a right handed batter) Still as Clemente matured he did hit for more and more power, hitting a career high in his MVP season in 1966 of 29. That is actually, if memory serves the third highest total in one season for a Pittsburgh Pirate who played at Forbes Field with it's original dimensions. Even the great Willie Stargell, a player of immense power had his season high of 33 homers, only four more than Clemente. And hitting for power as a lefty was somewhat easier in Forbes Field with it's short right field porch. Ralph Kiner is the only consistent power hitter to play for the Pirates in the Forbes Field. But there was one significant difference, after Kiner's rookie season they brought in the fences in left and left center 30 ft. From 364 to 334 in left and from 406 to 366 in left center. This was done to attract the great Hank Greenberg to play with the Pirates. King's home run total went from 23 in the old dimension of Forbes to 51 the next year with the fences pulled in. The fences were pulled back out the year before Clemente's rookie season. Clemente knew he did not have the home run power of Mays or Aaron, but he was known to have had very good power, hitting three homers in a game twice and some amazing tape measure shots like his famous homer at Wrigley Field which the great Rogers Hornsby said was the longest home run he ever saw. Hank Aaron said about Clemente, "Clemente has the misfortune of playing in a big park. If he played in a smaller one, there’s no telling how many home runs he’d hit." While homers were harder to hit in Forbes, Clemente made use of his power and speed to become the leading player of his time with 166, 27th on the all-time career triples list.

[@jimpierce3138]

Very well stated.

[@jimpierce3138]

He hit 20 plus homers 3 times, had over 90 rbi's 4 times, and batted over .300 13 times, including 12 out of 13. He was never considered a power hitter (Stargell).
