註釋I loved baseball more than anything, said Roberto Clemente, the first great ballplayer from Puerto Rico. Despite physical pain from injuries and emotional pain from the racism of the 1960s, Clemente wowed major-league fans with his amazing fielding, throwing, and hitting. Equally noteworthy was his commitment to others. If you have a chance to help and you don't, he said, then you are wasting your time on this earth. The life of this beloved athlete and humanitarian was cut tragically short when his plane crashed en route to helping earthquake victims in Nicaragua. The Guzmans' vivid, fast-flowing portrait makes it clear why Clemente, the first Latino player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, is a hero both on and off the ball field.
