Overview

Baseball is the great American pastime, and this player rose to tremendous acclaim in the sport, but he died while doing something that meant far more to him. He died in a plane crash while on the way to deliver aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua, at the young age of 38. Clemente spent many of his off seasons flying to Latin American and Caribbean countries, to deliver baseball equipment and food to those in need. Introduce your readers to a detailed biography of this sports giant, whose life remarks that fame and fortune is not enough; giving back is far more rewarding.
