Zitat des Tages von Roberto Clemente:
Look at my skin - I am not of the white people.
I want to be remembered as a ballplayer who gave all I had to give.
The first day that I get to Fort Myers, there was a newspaper down there. The newspaper said, 'Puerto Rican hot dog arrives in town.'
Baseball has been very good to me.
It's not a bad ball if I can hit it.
I am convinced that God wanted me to be a baseball player.
I was born to play baseball.
The farther away you writers stay, the better I like it. You know why? Because you're trying to create a bad image of me... you do it because I'm black and Puerto Rican, but I'm proud to be Puerto Rican.
I am more valuable to my team hitting .330 then swinging for home runs.
If I would be happy, I would be a very bad ball player. With me, when I get mad, it puts energy in my body.
But some people act like they think I live in the jungle someplace.
I wasn't ready for the majors when I joined the Pirates in 1955. I was too young and didn't know my way around.
