Book Description
On an island called Puerto Rico a boy named Roberto Clemente dreamed of nothing but winning at baseball.
With no money -- but plenty of determination -- Clemente practiced on muddy fields with a glove made from a coffee sack. Little League became minor league, which turned into winter league...and, finally, he made it to the major leagues! With lightning speed, towering home runs, and grand slams, Clemente introduced himself to America.
Spare, evocative language -- and magnificent illustrations -- tell the story of a great athlete and even greater man who rose through the ranks of baseball to become one of the most admired players of all time.

what you did not know.......2006-07-09
I enjoyed it cause I found out more about Roberto Clemente.
Roberto Clemente: Pride of the Pittsburgh Pirates and PR.......2005-03-19
A well-written, almost poetically spare introduction to the life of Roberto Clemente. Starts with his life of poverty in Puerto Rico to his climb to the top of the major leagues. Ends with Mr. Clemente's untimely death in an airplane crash when he was transporting relief supplies to earthquake victims. Illustrations capture the feel of the times and experiences as well as the excitement of the sports action. This excellent picture book will introduce another generation to a real hero.

Go Pirates!!!.......2006-09-27
I am reading the book We'll Never Forget You, Roberto Clemente. It is a very good book. I decided to read it because I saw the 2006 All-Star Game. This book relates to me because I love baseball too. Roberto Clemente passed away on his way to help earthquake victims.
GO PIRATES!!!!

The Great One.......2002-01-22
We'll Never Forget You, Roberto Clemente is a great book. It tells all about the life of Roberto Clemente.He was the first Latin American in the Hall of Fame. He grew up very poor in Puerto Rico. He had to go work in the sugar cane fields to help his family when he was only six years old. Even though he had to work to help his family he still had time to play baseball. They used tin cans for balls and broomsticks for bats. Roberto was such a good player that he played in the San Juan League when he was only eight years old. When he was eighteen he went to a tryout and was discovered by some Major League scouts from the Brooklyn Dodgers. They sent him to the Montreal Expos, their farm team. While he was playing for the Expos he was discovered by the Pittsburg Pirates who drafted him. Roberto became a very famous baseball player.He won the MVP award in 1966 and was the National League batting champion four times. Roberto was not only a great baseball player he was also a great person. He was very proud of being Puerto Rican and worked hard so that people of all colors would be treated equally. He was killed in a plane accident while he was delivering supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. I think this was one of the best books I ever read. Anyone that likes sports would like this book. I learned a lot about someone that I had never heard of before.

WONDERFUL!! A MUST Read for all young baseball fans........1999-08-06
This book tells the story of Roberto Clemente in a clear, insightful, and entertaining way. It will be adored by kids, but also enjoyed by adults. It moved me to tears.

One of the nicer outgrowths of the ascendancy of slugger Sammy Sosa has been the renewed spotlight on the life and career of Roberto Clemente, the player he idolized and modeled himself after. One of the great stars of the midcentury, Clemente was the first Latin to be enshrined in Cooperstown after playing 18 Major League seasons, posting a .317 career batting average, and leading Pittsburgh to two World Series. He prowled right field with amazing grace, possessing what many consider the greatest arm in the game's history. Yet his grandeur resides as much in what he accomplished by example off the field: "Any time you have an opportunity to accomplish something for somebody who comes behind you and you don't do it, you are wasting your time on earth," notes Clemente in his biography. He didn't waste his abbreviated allotment. A true humanitarian--baseball gives an annual public service award in his name--he worked tirelessly to help those in need; indeed, he died in a plane crash on New Year's Eve, 1972, on the way to help earthquake victims in Nicaragua. Born in poverty in Puerto Rico, Clemente rose on the strength of his magnificent talents, but never forgot his roots. His was a complex, often thrilling life; Markusen, a senior researcher in the library at the Hall of Fame, has done it justice in this comprehensive and thoughtful examination of a remarkable human being who lived on and off the field with equal passion. --Jeff Silverman

Rave Review.......2000-02-11
I'm not sure where the previous reader is coming from. There is plenty about Clemente the man-- his sense of humor, his pride, his work ethic, his philanthropy. Yes, the emphasis is on baseball in this book, but thoughts on Clemente's personality and character are interspersed throughout. Great descriptions of Clemente in the World Series and in the '71 All-Star Game. I highly recommend this book.
Interesting because of the subject.......1999-06-10
This biography of Roberto Clemente could have been so much better. It's easy enough to read, because Clemente himself is so interesting, but there are flaws with it. The book is not well-edited and tends to repeat itself too much; for instance, the subject of reporters quoting Clemente phonetically is mentioned several times throughout the book, as if the writer feels the need to reintroduce us to this fact over and over and over. Also, little sense of Clemente as a man emerges.
An excellent read for fans of the GREAT CLEMENTE.......1999-04-27
The 1971 World Series was the first one that I remember vividly. I was nine years old at the time, and I remember rooting for the Pirates. I also vividly remember how Clemente took over the series. His talents were put on the national spotlight for baseball fans in a big way.
This book in great detail displays not only Clemente's terrific skills as a baseball player, but also his wonderful work as a humanitarian and the numerous good deeds he did for men,women,and children.
The book also discusses the many struggles that Clemente and other Latinos experienced during their careers. Clemente was an extremely proud man, and was justified in his anger when certain people tried to 'Americanize' him.
It is rare for an athlete to become more popular after his death, but I believe that Clemente is a prime example of this. He never really got the national exposure he deserved until the 1971 World Series, and his death in 1972 cut short not only a tremendous playing career, but more importantly deprived the world of no doubt more humanitarian efforts to those in need.
This is the second book written by Bruce Markusen that I have had the pleasure of reading. His talents as a baseball writer are evident, this is by far the best baseball book that I have read. I look forward to the next book!!!!!
FIVE STARS for a greatly detailed book on one of the best baseball players of our time, but most important, one of the best human beings of our time.
A must read for Baseball fans.......1999-04-07
This book is a necesity for fans of the game, and fans of a truly great baseball player and humanitarian. Roberto Clemente was and still is a role model to all. Bruce Markusen does an incredible job relaying Clemente's legacy to his readers. Roberto is my favorite baseball player of all time, and he played for my favorite team. It is great to see such an accurate portrail of such a legend. To realize that athletes can be more than just a source of entertainment is hard enough to understand, let alone write an entire book on the subject. I highly recomend this book to anyone who would like to learn more about a true "legend of the game". I would also like to add that Bruce Markusen autographed my copy of this book. He is a great author and a class act.
A Great Read.......1998-11-29
I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Its detail and comprehensiveness make it an insightful read into a complex man. I recommend it highly.

Book of Pride.......2006-07-12
I enjoyed this book so much. Coincidently I finished it just before seeing a ceremony in honor of Roberto Clemente with his widow Vera present at the 2006 MLB All-Star game. From reading this book I understand why the word "Pride" is always used when discussing Roberto Clemente. This book carres the theme of Roberto's pride from beginning to end. Pride not only in himself but in his family and country. Many may say this is not a book about baseball, but those who know the magic of baseball understand that you can't seperate the game from the players. It is the great person in the player that makes the game of baseball so wonderful. Roberto was a great baseball player and an even greater man. Puerto Rico should feel honored in having him as one of their native sons.
Pride of Puerto Rico.......2006-03-03
My 12-yr old son read this book for a report.
He didn't complain too much and finished pretty quickly so I guess he liked it.
Very nice and easy to understand........1999-05-01
It was so good that when I received it, I could not put it down till the end. That night I went to bed at 4:33AM. Mr.Robert Walker, 2 thumbs up to a well documented piece of art. Again THANK YOU for this biography.
It was my favorite.......1998-11-30
He palyed for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was the youngest in his family, just like me. His dad made alot of money compared to the others that lived around them. Roberto rode his bike to another town to try out for a softball team. It was only a couple of miles from his home. His school was trying to teach him to speak English, and he didn't do very good, but he tried.
