Roberto Clemente Hall of Fame 1973

Roberto Clemente was brilliant in right field, where he displayed a precise and powerful arm. Clemente earned National League MVP honors in 1966, but achieved his greatest fame in the 1971 World Series, when he batted .414. Tragically, Clemente's life ended at age 38 — the victim of a plane crash while flying relief supplies to Nicaraguan earthquake victims. Roberto Clemente earned 12 consecutive Gold Glove Awards outfield.
