I recall hearing the news when I was a kid. Was impossible to get my mind around it then and still now, really. Such sadness. RIP to a great man.

Still a role model 50 years post-mortem. RIP Roberto.

Roberto Clemente was my first favorite vintage player to collect. My mom gave me the pictured '59 when I was about 12. I'm sure this was her way of imparting some of the values he stood for upon me. It is a card I'll never part with.
He so transcended the game and is someone we can all look up to, regardless of our own background.

Here are some of my holy relics related to baseball’s Patron Saint. I don’t often get to post over here. Thanks for indulging me.
