Baseball Historian Biography

One of the greatest to ever play the game. "Clemente had about him a touch of royalty", said Bowie Kuhn at his posthumous Hall of Fame induction. Clemente was a marvelous fielding right fielder, making unique running catches, diving after the ball and throwing out base runners with his deadly arm. He holds the NL record for the most years in the outfield leading the league in assists with five. Roberto Clemente had a career batting average of .317, smashing 3000 hits, 440 doubles, 166 triples and 240 home runs. 'His unique batting stance dared the pitcher to throw the ball and his all-around play looked like he owned the baseball diamond'. Roberto Clemente won four batting titles and won 12 Gold Gloves, the most ever awarded a rightfielder. He was voted MVP in 1966. You had to see his all-around play to believe anyone could play baseball like Roberto Clemente!
