Professional… Quiet, but firm. Dedicated completely. He had a lot of pride in being Roberto Clemente the baseball player, but it was not the type of pride where he thought he had authority to demean other people. He never did that. He was simply proud of the ballplayer that he was. I think bottom line for him was trying to show other Puerto Ricans and other human beings that regardless of how poor you are, the color of your skin, your main language, if you dedicate yourself to a cause, you can be a winner. That was bottom line for him." —Luis Mayoral Latin American baseball executive, former broadcaster, and friend of Clemente #robertoclemente #pittsburghpirates #pittsburghpiratesbaseball #piratesbaseball #pittsburgh #baseballlegend #baseballgreat #mlb #mlbhistory #mlbvault #baseballhistorians #atbatresearchgroup #baseballhalloffame #baseballhistory #happybirthday #bornonthisday #OnThisDay #mlbnetwork #baseball #otdmlb #prflagsup #puertoricanflagsup https://www.instagram.com/p/ChZ4DUMOBmy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
