Journalist Maraniss now brings the great baseball player back to life. Anyone who saw Clemente play will never forget him--he was a work of art in a game too often defined by statistics. But Clemente was that rare athlete who rose above sports to become a symbol of larger themes. Born in rural Puerto Rico, at a time when there were no blacks or Puerto Ricans playing organized ball in the United States, Clemente went on to become the greatest Latino player in the major leagues, a ballplayer of determination, grace, and dignity who paved the way and set the highest standard for waves of Latino players who followed in later generations.--From publisher description.  aSpanish.10aClemente Walker, Roberto,d1934-1972 0aBaseball playerszPuerto Rico.vBiography.2Local1 aEcherri, Vicented1948-2Local423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0631/2006042235-d.html
