I thoroughly enjoyed this book about the greatest right fielder ever. It took me back to my 75 cent bleacher seats at Forbes Field. We would chant, "Ariba." which meant hustle to the great one. I moved away from the Pittsburgh area but have such memories of Forbes Field. The author intertwined so many of the great Pirate players------Kiner, Law, Virdon, Murtaugh, Mazeroski, Friend, Hoak. Burgess, Long, Saffel, and so many more. The personal aspects that made the great one great. The author was from the island of Roberto"s birthplace. The book was published decades ago but it brought back so many wonderful memories. Man can tear down a wonderful spacious ballpark but the memories will remain.
Bruce Markusen knows his Pittsburgh Pirates (and also his Oakland A's having written a terrific book on the '70s A's called Baseball's Last Dynasty, just FYI) so it comes as no surprise he's written close to the definitive biography on Roberto Clemente. We finally learn the source of all those aches and pains Clemente had during his career such that less-than-understanding and lazy less-than-diligent sportswriters labelled him a hypocondriac.I wont spoil it for potential readers but, let's just say, Clemente's achievements take on greater gravitas given how those injuries never really healed for his entire career.
One of the two best Clemente biographies.
For the most part, this is a book about Roberto Clemente the baseball player, chronicling his career season by season. Clemente was known as "The Great One," but he was also the Proud One. He felt slighted for most of his career for not receiving the recognition he thought he deserved. But the 1971 World Series served to enlighten the public that he had always been among the very elite players of his day. Clemente was a four-time batting king, and as author Bruce Markusen observes, he had perhaps the greatest throwing arm of all time. Clemente always played with a greater drive. To me, key moments (discussed at length by Markusen) are his great hustling run-outs of weak infield grounders to pitchers in two different World Series, 1960 (Game 7) and 1971 (with the Pirates down 2-0 in the Series). Each led to a big inning and may have been the difference in the Series.Markusen gives substantial focus to Clemente the outspoken man. Roberto could rub people the wrong way because of his blunt complaints about perceived wrongs in baseball, and this often involved discrimination against black and Latin players. Markusen also discusses Clemente's frequent injuries and the accusations of his being a malingerer. A teammate who knew Clemente's injuries were real pointed out that sometimes Clemente did not want to play when injuries might cause him to embarrass himself, his family, or the team. This was a cultural difference that showed Clemente's pride but could be taken the wrong way. In any event, Clemente still did his share of playing hurt. But controversy seemed to swirl around him.Perhaps Clemente was too vain with respect to his playing abilities, but it is pointed out in this book that the Pirates right fielder wanted no attention when it came to his charitable and humanitarian efforts. The polar opposite became the case after he was killed in a DC-7 crash en route to Nicaragua to help earthquake victims. Teammate Willie Stargell observed: "Clemente's work with the relief effort was typical. He was always trying to help someone."Clemente's heroism on and off the field at the end of career rid him of any controversial image. In the last four chapters (post-mortem) Markusen explores the appreciation of the man and the ballplayer, and how he achieved mythic status in Puerto Rico. One of Clemente's goals was to see built a sports city that would provide opportunity and training for Puerto Rican athletes, and this dream was realized after his death. Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn observed that Clemente had "a touch of royalty" about him. That was shown in Clemente's skill as a ballplayer and his 1971 observation: "Any time you have the opportunity to accomplish something for somebody who comes behind you and you don't do it, you are wasting your time on this earth."
From Library Journal"No full-scale biography of Roberto Clemente has been written since shortly after his untimely death in 1972, and one is needed to place his life and achievements in perspective." Wow, they must not be familiar with "Clemente: The Passion and Grace of Baseball's Last Hero" by David Maraniss. That is a comprehensive and extremely insightful biography and I highly recommend it. Lots of details about the horrific plane crash are brought to light, facts that only became public in recent years. It will probably bring out some anger in any fan of "The Great One" to know how unnecessary and preventable his death was.I haven't yet read this book (Roberto Clemente: The Great One) but I do look forward to picking it up.Do take a look at Maraniss' book if, like me, your hero was and still is Roberto Clemente.Clemente Passion Grace Baseballs Last
