Roberto Clemente, who played with the SANTURCE CRABBERS™ in Winter League ball and with the Pittsburgh Pirates in MLB, has long been revered as one of baseball’s greatest humanitarians. <BR/><BR/>On New Year's Eve, December 31, 1972 Clemente died in a tragic plane crash. The plane was taking medical, food and clothing supplies to earthquake stricken Nicaragua. He is remembered today as a great ballplayer, a compassionate humanitarian and one of the first advocates for Latino ballplayers in Major League Baseball. <BR/><BR/>Celines Toribio invites you to visit www.eBeisbol.com and participate in the discussion. Submit your opinion on the great Roberto Clemente #21.<BR/><BR/>CelinesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
