I understand that MLB has an award named in his honor, but I feel for his actions on and off the field, he deserves to have his number 21 retired by MLB.
I've been saying that for a long time he gave his life to help people he was flying supplies to nicaraugua after the earth quake god bless him he never got the respect he deserved a great player and an even better human being. god rest his soul
I don’t know, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, in 1947 no less. Retiring someone else’s number for the entire MLB would take away from the bravery and importance of that event.
@@Cheesefist clemente gave his life helping people you don't get any braver then that retiring the number 21 league wide wouldn't take away from robinsons bravery or what he went through it would just honor one more person who paid the ultimate price to help people I respect what jackie went through but I also recognize what roberto did
@@danielcorreard3746 I don’t think you understand how important It really was. Without Jackie, Clemente wouldn’t have become a household name. Clemente has an award, a day, and a charity in his honor, so it’s not like he is underrepresented, I just don’t think anyone will ever warrant an full MLB number retire unless they sacrifice themselves to save the world from an alien invasion, flying right into the super alien weapon to blow up there ship.
@@Cheesefist Jackie has all that as well I just don't happen to agree when you say it cheapens the honor Jackie got roberto was a great humanatarian jackie was a great activist they are both great men equally great men so I think they should both have that honor
This man deserve a movie about his life.
Long over due 🎥 no 21 great one Roberto Clemente
I don't see why not.
Most Definitely.
I really enjoyed watching Clemente play on T.V. when I was young. He was and is still loved by everyone who honor and respect his legacy.
my grand mother god rest her soul took me to several pirates games when I was little and I got to see the great Roberto Clemente play i even got a chance to see one of his last homeruns great player great human being.
There will never be another player like Roberto Clemente in the past, present, or future!
I Agree. So special.... let me know if there are any other athletes you want to see content for and I will put it on this channel for you. Check out this piece that I wrote that I am going to paste below as a very long comment about Clemente and trying to find a way that we can consider ourselves lucky to have seen him even though he was taken from us too early..
With the tragic early death of Clement, few people point out a small gift that we were given relating to the chilling statistic of 3,000 hits exactly. We probably shouldn't have seen that due to his early death, however, having been promote ad to the majors at age 20, before he was really ready and as strong as a professional complete hitter should be. We only saw him hit above 300 only once in his first 5 seasons, and he never had double-digit home runs, or double digit outfit assists, or many walks. He literally was learning how to become a baseball player while he was a professional. If you are looking for a half of his career that is Dominic the second nine years are easily more impressive than his first 9 years, and I'd say that the years 8 -16 are the best 9 years. He didn't peek until he was in his ninth season as a pro, at 28 years old. In those first 5 years, when he could have been considered expendable at least he quietly snuck in over 700 hits and that made his later years, when he was adding 350 into 340 and winning MVP and batting titles years that he was flying towards the 3,000 number that made him, thank god, really stand up as an all-time great when he died.
They took away the 5-year waiting period, and post humically inducted him into the Hall of Fame just months after his death. People think this is something that has been done other times because they read when Lou Garrett was inducted, or about certain months. They don't realize that Lou Gehrig was inducted before there was a waiting period, and Thurman Munson wasn't even considered for the Hall of Fame candidate because his career was considered too short until this special committee was formed recently and everyone began talking about it.
My point is, that things like a good arm that he had would not be as noticeable if he didn't have those years developing and then burst out winning cold clothes 12 out his final 12 years and making the All-Star team in the NL every year from year 6 - to your 18 except 1968. This was not a down year for him, as a matter of fact, but he was suffering from my right shoulder injury and wasn't making the remarkable throws from The outfield in the first half of the season, playing everyday, or hitting well, entering the break padding .244. He toughed out that injury though in the summer, and had a huge second half, still managing to get to 300 for 1968 as a whole. He also did that on the heels of winning the MVP in 1966, and finishing third and 1967. 10 of his final 13 Seasons he was a top 10 in many people candidate, and he was a top 15 and beat candidate for 12 of his final 13 seasons.
His 164 career triples, make him 2nd all time behind Stan Musial by 13 for the career leader list of players from the post dead ball era. And mutual often used to do brag about his advantage playing in the original Busch stadium because of the 386 ft Power Alley and 414 ft center field because he still hit so many home runs. However, this would also explain the 700 plus doubles and the all-time leading number of triples after the dead ball era. Clemente averaged more triples per at bat and was the only post WW2 player to average 11+ triple per at bat. Clemente who is the best triple sitter because of the same reason he was the best defensive player and played right field. He had an amazing baseball instinct that you may be better than anyone ever. He wasn't a particularly big base stealer, but he could steal bases because he could sense when someone wasn't paying attention and he could leg out triples because he was a very very effective Bass runner. The only people within 20 of his number for their career besides Musial are Lou Brock came close and so did Willie Mays. Brock, of course, not only played in the same ballpark as usual, but he is second all time in stolen bases and Willie Mays was the original 40-40 man, being known for being the threat for top base stealer and HR hitter in the league every year. When you continue down the list you see names like Pete Rose, George Brett, Paul Molitor. These guys averaged eight triples per year and are also either great runners or amongst the best contact hitters in the history of the game.
In conclusion, I just want to try to grasp for something that we were lucky for him a life that was tragically cut too short. This man was a hero to Puerto Rico and to Pittsburgh and to america, and his impact was felt all over the country. I am grateful that he that's a play starting age 20 and developed into a star in his 60th year and I kept getting better so he got that 3,000 hit and the people didn't not mistake him for just another player. We got to look at a documentary and pour over his stats and see just how good he really was. When you talk about his trip was compared to Lou Brock or his arm compared to Bo jackson, and his contact hitting compared to Pete rose. What kind of player is this? He is somebody that only a true baseball fan can recognize as someone that is one of the best ever arguably. This statistics might not show it, but he would be somewhere on my lineup of 9 hitters and I'd probably play him anywhere just to get him on the field. Very similar to Derek jeter, he just has that clutch hit, winning player attitude. And I'll close with one more step. With runners and scoring position, he batted over 400, and with runners on base he back at 383 for his career. Clutch. Pittsburgh G.O.A.T
Roberto Clemente was the greatest baseball player ever
Roberto was a great player and man that worked hard to break down the barriers in america for latinos..we should all be proud of him. Jackie Robinson alike.
Truth.
Well said these 2 MLB ⚾ Legends you mentioned died 2 months apart oct 1972 JR Dec 1972 RC 🌹
I'm a black man and though all this happened before my time, and when I was young and the first time I heard about him it stuck to me til this day and I instantly became a fan, like this is one of my favorite baseball players hands down
sounds like they were jealous and racist towards a great Puerto rican ball player . who happened to turn out one of the best MLB players of all time , im fascinated by this legend
latinoheatariel. i know right people don't appreciate roberto and the real thing is I a.m. leading about roberto clemente in my class
Kitty Jen People don’t appreciate the greatest Americans: the 🇵🇷. Legendary baseball players. Legendary boxers, the most champs per capita, the only place in this planet to produce world boxing champs in every division. The youngest boxing champ in history. Per capita the most served and decorated ethnic group in all of America, by HUGE percentages. Astronauts, engineers, Supreme Court judge, cops, doctors. For fucks Sake if 🇵🇷 was a state it would be the most decorated state. I can go on and on. 🇵🇷 simply LEGENDARY!!! Achieving the 🇺🇸 dream with out ANY privileged!!! 💪🏼🇵🇷💪🏼🇵🇷🇺🇸
Favorite baseball player hands down this man is a legend
A great player and a great humanitarian, you are missed
his spirit is still lives today 😞
My favorite baseball player by far. You are so right Camilla his spirit is still lives on.
Yes it does...and more than ever.

ROBERTO CLEMENTE:
EMBAJADOR NACIONAL DE PUERTO RICO POR EXCELENCIA
My idol when I played baseball as a teenager.
Clemente was an example for all.
Roberto wouldn't conform and that's why he wasn't accepted but his talent will continue to overshadow that as history progresses.
Exactly.
The fact that he was not on the top MLB team of all time was a CRIME. Frank Robinson being the other.
Such an amazing man. Rip #21
this made me CRY!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😒😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
come on there's no crying in baseball😂😂
Happy to say that I share the same birthday as this legend.
👏
he was the most beautiful athlete i have ever seen. -C
Growing up in Pittsburgh during the 60's and 70's I knew he was the best. It used to piss us off that in the all star game Mays would start in Center and Aaron would start in right and they'd make Clemente Move to left.
Left is the best position to play
He always allowed Bob Prince to call him Bob or Bobby cause Prince respected him.
The great One!
" Larger than Life Saint" yup ... that was Clemente
Yes sweet hero, you had God at your 6, & rule my heart always...
Boricua legend 21
I've often said and been crucified for it, that as amazing as he was as an athlete, that athlete was nothing compared to the human being.
He took it upon himself to speak for the underdog regardless of personal consequences to him. That kind of person you don't see that often and for that I'm grateful and proud he was born and raised in the same country I was born and raised in. At the end of the day he now belongs to all of us bc he's larger than life itself.
RIP hermano.
An amazing human being ❤
Only the Good Die Young they say. What a shame
Great Ball player even greater human being. No greater love no man can give that he lay down his life for a friend. Thank you Roberto for helping others in their time of need. No you are in a very loving and peaceful place with Our Lord his son Jesus Christ and your loving wife. I pray to God i can see you one day. Thank you Jesus for your giving your life. Thank you Roberto for doing the same. Amen.
Roberto Clememte Muhammad ali and Bruce lee. Rest in heaven
All time greats and legends.
If you watch the locker room interview when he was awarded the MVP of the the '71 World Series, the reporter dissed Roberto after he spoke in his native tongue and quickly turned to talk to someone else. No respect in arguably his greatest moment in baseball!
the great one is a very fitting nickname for roberto both as a ball player and as a human being god rip great one
..Que estilo tan genial ..verdad ..yes
Calle 13's 'Adentro' music video does a wonderful tribute to this amazing guy.
My favorite player was Willie Mays, but my favorite outfielder was Roberto "Bob" Clemente.
I'll get you a Willie May's Documentary - like And subscribe and comment and forward to anyone that you think would enjoy my channel. I'm going to start putting a lot more things like I did 10 years ago
Sin Duda el mejor pelotero de la historia Roberto clemente descanse en paz.

Peace to Roberto Clemente.
Ps Nover recalls one particular incident in a furniture showroom in New York City. Clemente and his wife Vera were shopping and walked into the store.“We would like to see the furniture downstairs in your showroom,” Clemente asked. The salesman responded, “You don’t have enough money.” “I would like to see it because I have a right to see it as a human being, as a person that may buy from you,” Clemente demanded. Nover said that Clemente remembered he had $5,000 in his wallet. He showed the salesman the money.
“Do you think this is enough to buy it?” “Once the salesman found out it was Clemente, he stated that they had seven floors of furniture and told Clemente that he thought he was a poor Puerto Rican,” recalled Nover. “I don’t care if I am Puerto Rican or Jewish,” said Clemente. “You see, this is what really gets me mad: because I am Puerto Rican, you treat me differently from other people. I have the same American money that you are asking for. I don’t want to buy your furniture.”
He walked out.
Shame but our legend Hero 🇵🇷⚾⚾. had cojones 💪 to speak up on injustices in our 🇺🇸 Man was hard to break RIP RC and VC
I wish more people knew what a rare specimen in this dude was. I'm making a documentary that takes a while to get copyright licenses that shows some scientific comparison of his skills that people like Bo Jackson so everyone can see how strong and talented he was physically and I also going to go deeper into individual and unknown events to which he brought his great personality and belief in charity.

i was to young to see him play but ive learn that he was a great player
Check out his stats at baseball reference and look how his career got better and better as he got older and help good his years were when he hit the most home runs, triples, doubles, and batted the highest in his career. When he was good, he was good. And the stats won't even show you that he has the best arm to ever play right field
I saw him. Play and yes he was the great one . A here in baseball but a bigger hero for the world.
Check out Roberto Clemente
Retire #21 its way past due...
I'm a victim, You're a victim, He's a victim, we're a victim, Wouldn't you like to be a victim too?

Waooo cómo corre pisa la 2 base sin tener que mirar que clase de pelotero
Roberto Clemente era el tipo de jugador que sólo se ve una vez en cada generación. También era una gran persona fuera del campo con sus actos caritativos.

He did miss a lot of games. That's a fact though.
I seen a comment a boat Jackson throwing a runner out at home plate saying the announcer saying greatest single throw ever in baseball well that was one I don't think he had all that money that was a great throw but there was a man that was nowhere near the size of that did it time and time again by the name of Roberto Clemente a great human being and died helping humans in a very very bad situation because of an earthquake this gentleman had an arm like nobody's business and time and time again he held runners he threw runners out from deep right field corner and through a guy out at 3:00 the ball was head high all the way from the time it left his hand to the time tha in heavent he got the guy was incredible and was an incredible human being and I'm sure he sits among the saints😊
You were absolutely right. It is so sad that not as many young people know about him as other players from this time. The fact that he was as talented as he was on the field as well as being someone that made it his priority to be a good humanitarian, puts him in the category of people like Muhammad Ali or Jackie Robinson and a couple of others. After I get the official rights to some footage I am going to make a modern documentary that speaks to all generations and shows more about his charitable works and has some scientific comparisons of his skills to modern day players like the comparison you made to Bo Jackson's throw from the field.

His family is Puerto rico. Got in touch with community theaters and see how you can get them the right to vote I am sure that would be his wish
