At a time of unprecedented success for Latin American players in Major League Baseball, "Reflections on Roberto" offers a colorful and moving examination of the legacy left by one of the most dynamic players in baseball history, and someone who was undoubtedly one of its most selfless humanitarians. Legendary Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Roberto Clemente died tragically almost 30 years ago during a mission of mercy to aid Nicaraguan earthquake victims, but his impact on the game will never be forgotten. Along with numerous essays, stories, and sidebars by author Phil Musick, "Reflections on Roberto" offers hundreds of color and black and white photos of Clemente, the man who led the way for players born outside of the United States. To this day he is an international hero who has the highest award in baseball for sportsmanship and community activism named after him. He also made history by becoming the first Latin American player to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. "Reflections on Roberto" is a touching and moving portrait of the man, and will prove to be a cherished addition to any baseball fan's collection. |
