Roberto Clemente was born in Carolina, Puerto Rico on August 18, 1934. An athlete of tremendous ability and pride, Clemente is remembered today as one of the game's best all-round right fielders, with one of the best arms in baseball. Clemente was devoted to the people of Puerto Rico, and spent time during the off-season working with kids’ baseball teams in his hometown, as seen here in 1962.
