The great right fielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Roberto Clemente was proud of his family, his native Puerto Rico, and his ability to play baseball. “Baseball fans will welcome this book because of the fast-paced action, but the temper of the man and his concern for human beings will leave a lasting impression on the younger reader.”--The Horn Book

Pride of Puerto Rico: The Life of Roberto Clemente

I picked up this book for my grandsons because they are huge baseball fans.   Living just 100 miles from Pittsburgh I thought I knew a lot about Roberto Clemente but I actually learned a lot from reading this book. I wish it had been longer, full of more about Roberto's life. He really was a very interesting man as well as a great baseball player and philanthropist.  I would recommend this book to young people just because it is informative without being overbearing and very interesting also.
