Roberto Clemente was a professional Puerto Rican baseball player, who is regarded among the best baseball players ever. Having won numerous awards including the Most Valuable Player Award in his lifetime, he was one of the few players in history who reached the 3000-hit milestone. Because of his great skills as a sportsman, his name is written in cornerstones of schools, hospitals, as well as many other such public buildings, including monuments and statues, which also prove that his fame was beyond baseball. Clemente was also known for having a huge ethnic pride, and didn’t see himself merely as a representative of Latin America, but saw his career as a tool to help Latin Americans, especially the ones who were underprivileged. He had a lot of affection for children. He used to hold baseball clinics for little children despite his busy schedule. He had also wanted to build a ‘Sports City’ that would have innumerable facilities for the Puerto Rican youths which would encourage them to build their careers in sports. Unfortunately his untimely death in a plane crash shattered all that he still had to offer to the world.
