Us kids were playing football in the yard, January 1st, 1973. My Dad came out and said Roberto Clemente was killed in a plane crash. We fell down in the grass and cried. He was my boyhood hero, #21....Roberto Clemente!
When you give your life for others. That is a true HERO. He is the best from the MLB.
The man with the most dangerous arm in baseball history I love his game
Roberto Clemente makes me feel proud to be Puerto Rican
He is our legend hero
Roberto Clemente 👑 🇵🇷 and Pedro Albizu Campos 👑🇵🇷❤️
21 makes Me feel proud to be Puerto Rican & I’m a White Dude from Vegas 😏 🇵🇷
🏴☠️RF Bobby Clemente 🇵🇷
He always did help less fortunate people of World. He never looked down on the working class. I feel prejudice cost him 2 or 3 MVP. I know Pittsburg being small market didn't help. If he d Been in Newyork , Chicago, or LA. he'd have at least 2. Still short 2 mvp.
Same
I am Puerto Rican and still crying every time I see something about Clemente. I was just 10 years old when he died and when see what happened to him I bring me back to those days. I am 57 and just feel like I am 10 again. Thank you for making this video for him. Unfortunately in Puerto Rico the people have forgotten him. This is the way I can feel that. God bless you.
He meant . So much to me growing up . I was 10 or 11. When he died. Now I am 60.
He signed a ball for me when I wad 10. I will never forget it!
I am 65
No, we have never and will ever forget about our beloved hero, Roberto is in every Puertoricans heart.
@@miguelberrios19yes he is the greatest
That was the first time I heard my mother cry my father cry in all my family rest in peace Roberto Clemente🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🕊
Roberto was one of the greatest to play the game.
I was born in 85 and the GREAT ONE is and will always be my favorite baseball player...with Kenny lofton behind him..I remember my dad telling me bedtime stories about him when I was a little kid..I kept his card in my back pocket from little league through college during my games and practices...what a great ballplayer but a better human..
Clemente was my favorite player growing up.
It sucks that people think that saying Roberto is too much Spanish for them to learn . R O B E R T O. Definitely the best RF of all time.
I had his baseball card when I was a kid and it said “Bob Clemente”. Bob! I don’t think he would’ve appreciated that.
No D OUBT
Robert Clemente, Pride of Puerto Rico - American Hero! As a Pirates fan since the 60s, our family still grieves for his death, but look to him as the best mentor one could have!
Roberto clemente was a true mlb ⚾ puerto rican legend rip
While watching him in the 1971WS, I said, "What's he going to do next." I have never said that about any other player.
@@howardkwastel6188 I was in Okinawa during '71 WS. I was so impressed with this man's ability. Then, within months, he was gone. He was not just a great ball player, he was a humanitarian. When I heard of his death which was due to his plane crashing, which was carrying life saving supplies to Nicaragua, it left a hurt in my heart for his type of man. He was so rare. There was a terrible earthquake and he volunteered his own work, not just sign a check then call a press conference to show you''re a humanitarian. He was truly an exceptional MAN! I watched Al Kaline play many times right field because I grew up in Detroit and skipped school to go to Tiger Stadium. Kaline threw out many base runners and was the best I had seen. Then, the '71 World Series made me realize Al Kaline may have a man who had a better arm than he had, which shattered me! I was a hard core Kaline lover, but Roberto stole a piece of my baseball heart. He is still one of my all time favorite athletes regardless of sport. He was special.
No he was not just the PR legend. He was the world's legend. I'm a brown kid from Washington, D.C.. We all loved and respected him. My home team the Washington Senators, sucked. I became a Pittsburgh Pirates fan because my mother introduced me to this man. My friend Mke was Willie Stargell and I was Roberto Clemente at 8 years old. If you knew baseball, you knew Roberto. He was great.
.317 lifetime average, exactly 3000 hits. Batted 1000% as a human being. No doubts.
Well said 👍
Is that George plimpton???
600 in the playoffs
Mr. Clemente would have the status of Ali, had he lived to retire from MLB with his stats that would have made him a first entry into the HOF, and continued to serve the people he loved the most-the people without a voice- he would have been a force which could not be denied. He was so much more than a baseball player, a great one at that, but he also a great, honorable man. Granted, this is just the opinion of an older fan who grew up loving baseball and like most AL fans, considered (rightly so ) that Al Kaline was incredible in RF while playing for the Detroit Tigers from 1954-1971. I watched from right field seats Kaline play dozens of times. He was also underappreciated in the AL as Roberto was in the NL, but while watching the '71 WS from Okinawa, I became a true Clemente fan and respected his off field life. I had heard the stories from sports writers all the negative things said, but paid little attention to them or Roberto as he was in NL, Kaline was in AL, so it was nothing to me before the World Series in 1971. Before going to Vietnam, learning of his death hit me harder than I let anyone know, except my childhood friend who joined the Corps with me and was a baseball nut. I still love the honorable was he conducted his life and believe that if just a FEW men, regardless of sport, were like he was, we would have less stress and more love in this country. Sorry for the length of post. I truly thank you for this short doc on Roberto Clemente.
One of the purest athletes that one could truly admire without a doubt or regret.
Roberto was my idle when i was as a kid .A super star back then.
One of the greatest players of all times.He was in a class of it self.He will for ever be a legend.
I wear number 21 because of him
He's my goat
"Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service." --Martin Luther King Jr.
What a great leader, father, Humanitarianism, and baseball player.
I don't know much about the Puerto Rican culture but Roberto was a true hero r.i.p
👍
Roberto Clemente 🇵🇷 was so proud to be Boricua/Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 that he made sure his wife flew back home on time to give birth to each of their sons.
puerto rico gracias por danos a roberto clemente sin dudas he is G.O.A.T without him us dominican latino wouldnt be nobodys in mlb and he die helping other dios lo bendiga
God bless you too 🙏🏼🇵🇷🇩🇴
"The Great One" was the best player I ever saw in person and surely one of the best of all time.
Wow, how lucky of you to have seen this man play
Same here.
I am a Pittsburgher who watched Clemente from 1960 onward (ten years old)...so sad when he died...I stopped watching baseball after that.
Oh wow sorry you stopped but you were fortunate to witness a unicorn on the diamond.
That happen to me to wow
It was like a punch in the gut, wasn't it? I think of Roberto frequently.
I also was a Pittsburgh youngster (9 years old) when the Pirates won the 1960 World Series. Roberto was and will always be my most beloved Pittsburgh Pirate...ARRIBA! ARRIBA!
I remember I was watching the Rose Bowl game & Curt Gowdy said "Pittsburgh Pirate great, Roberto Clemente had been killed in a plane crash..."(I was crushed, didn't hear anything after that. I kept hoping he'd turn up alive.) He's why I was & still am a Pirates fan. Got to see the 1976 team play Padres, when I was stationed in San Diego, Parker hit 2 HRs. I liked Parker but he was no Clemente, no one was.
One of my favorite players of alltime.
He is my number one. I enjoy collecting anything Clemente 21
Thanks.
One of the best documentaries about Roberto Clemente I have seen.
Puerto Rico nunca te olvidara, nuestro 21 🇵🇷 que orgullo
I know that means something nice....
🏴☠️ RF Bobby Clemente 21 🇵🇷
R.I.P. Roberto Clemente. One of the greatest of all time. He had a cannon out there in right field.
Pride of Puerto Rico!
A man of the people. Clemente and Rivera. Baseball brothers.
Did anyone ever play the game with as much great mad joy as Roberto? The fire and the fury.
Roberto Clemente was my hero even though I was born in 1970 and never saw him play Yet as a child growing up in Puerto Rico I remember being in awe of his highlights but the one thing that brought tears to my eyes and made me proud was his humanity and how he was willing to sacrifice his life just to help others out and that is how he passed on to always remembered as a great baseball player on the field but above all as a great humanitarian.I am almost certain that if he was alive today his Puerto Rican pride would have been as evident as ever and after seeing the love and admiration that the sport and the fans have towards him no matter the difficult and tumultuous times he went through in his days as a player he would eventually have been Proud to be an American and would have most likely also been a Steelers fan.”As American as apple pie” RIP Roberto Clemente #21 🇵🇷 🇺🇸
So fitting that he had exactly 3,000 hits, then passed away helping others. Amazing player, even better human being.
Roberto for us puertorican the best thing ever come out Puerto Rico
I was blessed to see him play. Everyone around here tried to emulate him. From his basket catches to his hitting.
Of course, none of us could.
There was and will ever be only one Roberto Clemente
😀
10yrs old balling. when I heard news of my favorite team n player. My parents were shocked to say the least. Over how much it effected me.
We want to see a movie of Roberto Clemete live
Yessss!!!
That's how we are...if you ask, we tell you. You dont ask unless you want to really know. Duh!
Legends never die .... The great one Clemente #21 🇵🇷⚾️
When we were kids in Puerto Rico we loved the Pirates and Pittsburgh because of him. Sanguillen,Stargell,Oliver, Blass,Ellis,Clines, all of them.
When I was a kid in the 60s and early 70s Clemente was a household name. He was the greatest player of all time.
As a Pittsburgher, I was so lucky to see him a lot. My favorite plays were when a batter got a hit to right and was dumb enough to round first too far.
His name rings amongs the greats. He died to young, RIP #21.
A great human being, a special ball player.
FACTS!!! 🙏🇵🇷🙏🇵🇷🙏🇵🇷🙏
I was lucky enough to grow up in Ft. Myers, Florida in the 50's and 60's so every spring I got to see Roberto. Met him several times. He was, is and will always be my hero! R. I. P
Great to hear your story, and thanks for loving him through the Jim Crow Laws. Roberto Clemente wasn't able to dine or stay in the same hotel as his teammates. Happy New Year ❤️
Me too i am Greenie
I was born in san juan 2/16/77....
And very privileged to even have the same puertorican blood as Clemente. My eyes watered the last 10-15 minutes.....Maybe earth didnt deserve him...
RIP😭❤
There were great Puerto Rican ball players while Roberto played. Marichel was 1 of the top pitchers, consistently winning 20, The Alou brothers, Matty played for the Pirates won a batting crown. I'm not sure if Tony Oliva was from PR. There were & are some great players from PR, but Roberto was always my favorite player regardless of where they were from.
@@bluesingmusic3443 Roberto Clemente no 1 latino ⚾ player of all times
@@ManuelGuzman067 to me. The Number 1 player of all time. His performance in 1971 World Series, proved it to me. He was awesome. I'm priveledged to have seen him play. Though it was on TV, the man was unstoppable, opposing base runners RARELY went 1st to 3rd on his cannon arm. Such a fabulous player. Still my favorite of all time.
He deserves to at least have his number (21) retired crossed the entire MLB.
i agree~!!!
@@MrJoeFlorida you think clemente didnt face racism? did you even watch this?
@Chris Don't waste your time, nobody is in the same class as Clemente. I am in agreement but MLB may never go for it. The feedback from the Jackie Robinson camp and others is that it will take away from 42. I understand that. I also undertand very well that Clemente had to fight a color AND language barrier. The good new is that the players are taking this into their own hands. All player want to wear an idol's number. Latino player wanted to wear 21, but now they consider it "off-limits" out of respect. Some have said they are not worthy of wearing it - respect. Non-Latino players will undertand and they too, out of respect, will not wear it.
I think it won't be long before we no longer see it on a baseball field at the pro level. Problem solved.
Absolutely. He was a real man, someone that sacrificed everything to help others and that is something truly special. Just a very few will ever do that and he was one of them.
@@MrJoeFlorida why not?. I'm sure if they said the same about Ken Griffey Jr you would totally agree.
I was 9 years old in 1960, and saw him play many, many times at Forbes Field and whenever the games were on TV. He was the greatest players I've ever seen. Baserunners would think twice about trying to go from 1st base to 3rd base, or from 2nd base to home plate. He had a cannon for an arm.
All theses Puerto Rican multi millionaires baseball players we have they should make a budget and make a movie of Roberto Clemente 🔥🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Nelson's Rudolph I bet there’s more than 40 and atleast 10 are multi millionaire active players 🤷🏼♂️
all the puerto rican " no mi Hermano Los Dominicanos Tambien " Entendemos Roberto Clemente was G.O.A.T we have a lot to thanks to him and not just as a player a human being he died trying to help " nuestros hermanos Nicaraguense " before he got on that plane he was told there was bad weather still.
Ramon Bueno that’s was I’m saying Latino players should make a budget and come out with banger of a movie of Roberto Clemente 🔥🔥
Boricuas 27 Excelente propuesta, no solo una pelicula tambien rehacer la Ciudad Deportiva q fue su gran anelo.

ROBERTO CLEMENTE WAS A BASEBALL GOD AND I DOUBT THERE WILL EVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE HIM.
i was lucky enough to see him play many times...every word you say is oh so true...
What a wonderful man!
In Spanish as he would have done:
No es absolutamente nada su carrera deportiva en comparación con la calidad humana que tenía Roberto, se sacrificó por otros siempre hizo lo mismo del sufrimiento que le causó el rechazo y la intolerancia lo hizo cada vez más grande y fuerte. Gracias Roberto por eso siempre serás el mejor de todos los tiempos.
sin el no tuvieramos los latinos el espacio que hoy tenemos en mlb
The Greatest Puerto Rican icon in Baseball History....# 21. THE GREAT ONE... ROBERTO CLEMENTE !!!! Que Viva El Boricua !
I remember being a ten year old in 1971,watching the World Series with interest for the very first time. Didn’t take long to see what an exciting player he was. Amazing talent,sadly gone too soon.
Roberto LIVED his words about the common man! I sent him a get well card when he was hurt. I got an autographed picture back. Boy did I make out on that deal!! And YES, Roberto sounds a WHOLE LOT BETTER than Bob!!
Alao, I am sure he went directly to heaven when he died. St. Roberto!
El Mejor pelotero Latino de todos Los tiempo! El Magnifico!
👑🇵🇷❤️
Such a mythical figure in sports and humanitarianism-what a guy!
I was very young when Roberto Clemente die on that fateful plane crash, in route to Managua, Nicaragua, in 1972. I believe I was around 9 yrs old. But I still remember, how thousands of Puertoricans, went to the area where the plane supposedly crashed, by the beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My family and I went there too, like if Roberto some how would come out of the water alive. That was when I realized, how much that man meant to us Puerto Ricans. He will always be remember, as one of the greatest athletes from Puerto Rico, loved by millions of fans around the world! He definitely made me, and many other Puertoricans, proud to be from that very small Island, in the middle of the Caribbean Archipelago.
OMG Roberto Clemente is my favorite player in the whole wide world he is amazing I have about 10 baseball cards of him and I love how amazing and kind he was about everyone!
Have you ever seen his card in Cooperstown , that reads " Bob Clements " ?
I'm very jealous. (I bought the tins Topps put out in 1990s) They had reprints of some of his cards in them, plus the tins looked like baseball cards.(My mom threw away ALL my cards when I joined the Navy, had 2 Clemente cards) Hang on to those cards! I'm still very jealous! Blessings!
James Thomas yes!!! I have that one!
blues in g music I am very sorry about that.
@@gianna.h12 thank you. But it was 1975. (I was okay with it, until a girlfriends son in 1990 collected. He had a Beckett for baseball, I looked at the prices just for the fun of it. Man I got sick, Pete Rose $120, Johnny Bench close to that. The Nolan Ryan rookie with him & Koosman was $1200! I almost cried. Lol. But I've got several complete sets, from 1989 to 1995 baseball, football & basket ball. I've got Michael Jordan's card in White Sox uni,etc. They're in my closet I gave them to my grandson, I told him when you're Papa's age you can sell them...he's 10 now. So in 50 yrs ...). Sorry I get excited about cards now, I get too excited telling him, & everyone else about Roberto Clemente).
My first ever favorite player in baseball. Best all around player in baseball.
This guy lost his life in a plane crash helping people from another country that had a really big earthquake.. That on itself its something to admired
Look at roberto clemente as an 👼 ⚾ player with a big ❤ 🏆

He is the pittsburg pirates,and the #21
roll into one.Roberto Clement had all the attributes of a MLP.
P u e r t o r i c o 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷. Gracias 🙏
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
El Rey
Viva PR
My favorite player of All-time. Great player but an even better Person#LEGEND
I remember crying for days when I heard he died. I was only really introduced to him during the 71 world series, but he quickly became my favourite player just because he was so unorthodox and so good! So sad to hear such a great human being was lost!
Roger Hickson He was fun to watch!
Clemente was Michael Jordan’s favorite as a kid. Greatness recognizes Greatness 🤔😊
I did not no that 👍
He is one of the biggest Clemente memorabilia collectors in the world! ,👍💪⚾🇵🇷
@MANCHESTER UNITED were talkin about baseball not soccer
@MANCHESTER UNITED what does fútbol being the biggest sports on Earth have to do with the video of one of the greatest talented Baseball players?
Ivan Sanchez is that true??!
Simply the the best better than all the rest the great one
He was my people puerto rican.puerto rico love hem we are one.
That's the way a great baseball player should play the game.
Thank you so much for this I cry because I really love Roberto and I was not born yet but I from Carolina Puerto rico
He had many productive seasons left when he died and a heart of gold.
I never saw any one except Nolan Ryan who at 38 was still feared, & played at the highest level. I'm thinking he had 3 seasons at least left in him. But who thought Ryan would pitch until 47 with 7 no hitters & 95 mph fastball.
Not Only One Of The Greatest Player, But Roberto Die To Help People This Man Is A True HERO.
Greatest player I ever saw. His performance in 1971 World Series was spectacular. What great player. There aren't enough superlatives to describe the man. Will never forget him. 4 batting titles, .317 lifetime avg. 3k hits.(he was 1 of 3 hitters to hit .300 in 1968. Yaz won AL title with 301. Pete Rose & Clemente battled it out for NL crown, but Pete won) he'd have won more but missed having enough plate appearances. Greatness! I just found out my daughter has the same birthday as he did, August 18. Wow! I never knew his birthday. I'm elated. He was & is my favorite player. When I played RF during my playing days, I was happy as Roberto played RF. I had 2 of his baseball cards 1970 & 1968.(my mom threw them out when I joined the Navy) I cherished those cards. Suprised I didn't remember his birthday. We'll never see another like him.
Remember Clemente won world series MVP in 1971 against the Orioles. The Orioles starting staff had four 20 game winners in Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar and Pat Dobson. After his rookie season with the Pirates, Clemente was driving his car in Puerto Rico. A drunk driver rammed his car with his own. The back of his car was crushed. The back seat completely crushed to where the trunk of the car was in the back seat. Clemente had back problems through his career like Mantle had knee problems. Clemente would twist his neck side to side. He had a cannon for a throwing arm. He was very generous as he died flying food and supplies to earthquake ravaged Nicaragua. It was on New Year's in 1973. He didn't want to wait as he knew people were starving.
I was a pre-teen when he died. I never go to see him play in person. But I sure watched him on TV. I am still a Pirates fan because of him and I live in Western Kentucky, every around here loves the Cardinals, but I will nevet waver in my love for the Pirates and number 21.
My ENTIRE fam loved/loves the Cards. They're from St Louis. They never understood me liking the Pirates. Always good natured, kidding me. (Funny story my Moms husband,Mom, & I were watching NCAA basketball tourney, Missouri (had a really good team that yr) was playing,he was ranting about no one likes Missouri Tigers, etc,etc. I said Bob, Mizzou is Mama's team. He shut up!)
Born and raised in Carolina Puerto Rico. I thank you for this compilation. My young life was baseball and Clemente to all the kids especially in Carolina was the player/person to emulate. We grew up with the stories. Now this videos prove what He is/was. The legend and the greatest Roberto Clemente
Your welcome it was my pleasure making this video i'm Puerto Rican as well...he's our hero and will always be remembered
QUE VIVA PUERTO RICO
RC21 EL MAGNÍFICO
One of my heroes as a kid growing up in the 70’s and early 80’s
I grew up as a huge Willie Mays fan, but I always had great respect and appreciation for Roberto Clemente. He was the real deal like so many others back then. What a great man and ball player!
Saw him many times and he was always worth the price of admission.
Good route runner. Only player to hit a walk-off inside the park Grand slam.
Had he lived a full life he would be in his 80’s right now sad.🥺😢
For us Puerto Rican “Americans” Roberto Clemente was not only a great baseball player , but a godly example of what it means to love your neighbor as yourself . For those of you who still don’t know this , Puerto Ricans have been U.S. Citizens since 1917 .
At 51 I was only 4 when he died but I would marvel at a statue they had of him in nyc. Even the statue radiated dignity. Proud as a Puerto Rican indeed but he was bigger than nationality.
"For me, I am the best in the world." Clemente was proud of his skills, his work ethic, and his talents.
Love the story and life of Clemente one of the most amazing guys in sports history. Such a great role model wish I would have seen him play
I am so blessed to say that I've seen Clemente play since I was a young child until his death. Absolutely the best player I've ever seen.
Thank you for posting this video of The Great Ball Player, The Great Humanitarian, The Great Man and The Great One, Roberto Clemente!!
The best player in the baseball in the United states of America...yes Roberto Clemente #1!!!!
My first time when I saw Roberto Clemente was San Juan Senators Basebaal Club mánager - player in 1970-71 Puerto Rico Winter Baseball League. gave me a great lesson as Ball fan in 1971 WSC with great respect
First pro baseball I ever remember watching was 71 World Series. Wow am I glad I got to see that. Very sad tho when my new found hero died so suddenly. Great great ball player. Even greater man
For me Roberto Clemente he was the player best in the major league baseball #1. Right fielder..yes go Roberto Clemente!!!
Die hard angels fan here , but I have a Clemente shirt and proudly wear it . #RespectTheGame 💯
I grew up in Pittsburgh pa. We lived in Oakland a suberg of pittsburgh right downtown near Forbes field there was an area that we could sneak in the field and watch the game Roberto was the best to everyone , even though his English was not understandable ,he would stay at the park all day and night never would walk away from you ,stay with you as long as you were there oh!!! to see his plays ,and it was all his plays did everything without mistakes ,like bill masaroski second base never make an error Everybody kid growing up I’m the right fielder no.21 Roberto Clemente so when I played baseball I played right field never got shirt 21 I had don clendan no. 17 first baseman no.17 but I was mainly a pitcher but I could throw you out from rightfield. I’m a white man guess my sons name Clay Clemente Roberto was loved by the kids in all the area
I love you Roberto
I am 63 YO, and grew up 1.5 hours East of Pittsburgh. Other than my dad, Clemente was my hero! Little League and pick-up baseball was HUGE back then. I copied his basket catch, behind the back catches, batting stanch, etc. my dad took me to see Clemente when they played at Forbes Field. I don’t remember much about the game, but watching him take outfield practice and batting practice was a childhood highlight. I was devastated when his plane went down. Thanks for posting the video. I can never get enough Clemente.
Edward Englehart...I suspect you're from the Latrobe area. I'm from Jeannette.
Most people forget he also served in the military too for a short time.

THE LEGENDS ROBERTO CLEMENTE, GOD BLESS
As a youngster ( I'm 71 now ) I had the privledge to watch the Great One play. I'd give up box seats to sit in right field seats at Forbes Field and Three Rivers just to watch him play. He provided me with some many fond childhood memories. He was and will forever be the greatest Pittsburgh Pirate baseball player.
Great story. I bet things changed so much since those days.
Thanks for posting this wonderful documentary. I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area. I saw Roberto perform at Forbes Field and Three Rivers. I even got to see him up-close and personal as a teenager during an awards banquet held at the Sportsman Club in Greensburg, PA. Not mentioned here was how Roberto Clemente became and good hitter and what made him strong, we asked and he told us that he had a special training where he would swing the bat 100 times per day. Also, not mentioned was the tragedy of his family members taking his trophies after his death. This brings back great memories for sure....when playing pick-up baseball, tennisball, or wiffleball, everyone wanted to be Clemente, which meant you had to perform his basket catch. It was a nice time to be raised in Pittsburgh, we would listen to the radio and nearly all the games and wherever you went, the game was on the air. Bob Prince and Nellie Fox broadcasting the game. Long live his legend!
Good player, good person and handsome man!
i was fortunate enough to see roberto about 40 times in forbes field growing up in the 60's in boardman ohio...there was not a better all-around player to ever put on a baseball uniform...if the pirates, between 1965 and 1973, would have had better pitching staffs, they would have made the post-season every year
