Roberto Clemente | Exploring the Life and Legacy of "The Great One"

Join host Antonio Tijerino on this special episode Fritanga featuring Luis and Roberto Clemente Jr., and Thomas Brasuell, President of the Roberto Clemente Foundation. Together, they discuss the life and legacy of the Great One: Roberto Clemente.

Wearing the iconic number 21, Clemente was the first Latino player inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. His illustrious career includes 3,000 hits, four batting crowns, 12 Gold Glove Awards, the 1966 National League MVP title, 15 All-Star appearances, and two World Series championships.

Beyond his athletic achievements, Clemente was a humanitarian icon, dedicated to helping those in need. As a tireless advocate for social justice, Clemente used his platform to fight against inequality and champion civil rights for Black and Latino communities.

From baseball clinics for underprivileged children in Puerto Rico to sacrificing his life to support earthquake victims in Nicaragua, Clemente's spirit of giving endures through his sons and the Roberto Clemente Foundation.

Listen in as we honor Roberto Clemente – the athlete, the humanitarian, the civil rights advocate, and a hero to millions.
