Week of 6-8-15

Legend:

Roberto Clemente was a superstar on and off of the field, who sadly died at a very young age in a plane crash where the destination was to be helpful in a community service project. He not only was a five-tool player, but was a leader in the clubhouse and in the clutch, winning a WS MVP in 1971. He had a brilliant 18-year career with the Pittsburgh Pirates, wearing that yellow color with pride. His arm in right field was a cannon, his presence at the plate scared the hell out of the pitcher, but where he stood the tallest was with the MLB fan base, as he was treated as one of baseball’s greatest pioneers.
