Twenty-five years ago, Roberto Clemente made baseball history when he became the first Latin American to enter the Hall of Fame. The Great One: The Life and Times of Roberto Clemente explores one of the game's most dynamic players and perhaps its most selfless humanitarian, From modest beginnings in Carolina, Puerto Rico, to a legendary career with the Pittsburgh Pirates, to his tragically premature death in a plane crash, The Great One details the story of one of baseball's most compelling characters. Interviews with teammates Willie Stargell and Al Oliver, former major league commissioner Bowie Kuhn, and close friends of Clemente lend insight into his character and contributions. The Great One fully examines Clemente's legacy, at a time of unprecedented success for Latin American players.
