Roberto Clemente: The Great One

Roberto Clemente: The Great One by Markusen, Bruce. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781571672445.

Twenty-five years ago, Roberto Clemente made baseball history when he became the first Latin American to enter the Hall of Fame. Roberto Clemente: The Great One explores one of the games most dynamic players and perhaps its most selfless humanitarian, from his modest beginnings in Carolina, Puerto Rico, to his legendary career with the Pittsburgh Pirates, to his tragically premature death in a plane crash. Interviews with teammates Willie Stargell and Al Oliver, former major league commissioner Bowie Kuhn, and close friends of Clemente lend insight into his character and contributions.
