Clemente

The Passion and Grace of Baseball's Last Hero

David Maraniss

Discover the life and legacy of Roberto Clemente, the baseball legend who died a hero's death while delivering aid to Nicaragua after an earthquake. In "Clemente: The Passion and Grace of Baseball's Last Hero," David Maraniss captures the myth and the real man behind the player, using meticulous detail to paint a portrait of a work of art in a game too often defined by numbers. Clemente won four batting titles and led the Pittsburgh Pirates to championships in 1960 and 1971, leaving a lasting impact on the sport that earned him a place in the Hall of Fame.
