He was one of my favorite baseball player when I was a kid.

What an arm he had. Laser beam.

One of my favorites

One of the best players and humanitarian s in my lifetime certainly!

My husband grew up in Pittsburgh and got to see him play. He went to Catholic school and always said "the nuns loved him". Taught our kids and grandkids about what a great player and person he was.

Roberto Clemente is the name I heard offen in my house as a child and I’m so glad .

I was lucky enough to see him play the Phillies multiple times at Connie Mack Stadium as a kid.

My aunt and uncle once saw Roberto Clemente hit a home run out of the park at Dodger Stadium. That was a long drive.

Only one like that comes along in a lifetime

he was on that plane as he learned gangs were stealing the humanitarian aid and that wasn’t going to happen, the plane was overloaded & poorly balanced

As a day is long! Wul, maybe more like a MONTH of handsome 🥰 Years… #FiveToolPlayer #mensch

Pittsburgh's play-by-play guy called him "Robbie" which he hated. What is it with white dudes and black people's names.

True, but box scores had him as Bob, and Prince loved Clemente too!

Yep!

I’m old enough to have seen him play live and he was class and grace personified!

He was my baseball hero as a kid.
