Editor’s Choice: My Clemente

Because everyone has a Clemente story, whether directly or indirectly from someone they know within the Latino baseball community, La Vida Baseball takes time on the 21st of each month to celebrate the life and legacy of Roberto Clemente with our series “My Clemente.”

The Great One lives on in these anecdotes that illustrate his reach and impact. Clemente represented the best of his home island of Puerto Rico and stood out for his unbending insistence on the dignity and worth of Latinos. Here are five My Clemente stories and videos that moved us this year.
