- Summary:
- Roberto Clemente siempre amó el béisbol. Creció en Carolina, Puerto Rico, donde bateaba ramas de árboles (ya que no tenía bate) y bateaba latas. Siempre estaba bateando, lanzando, corriendo, deslizándose. Su dedicación dio sus frutos cuando, a los 19 años, fue seleccionado para un equipo de las Grandes Ligas. Su primera parada: la fría Montreal... donde calentó la banca y a sí mismo, anhelando jugar béisbol. Meses después, finalmente tuvo su oportunidad con los Piratas de Pittsburgh. Clemente tuvo un impacto instantáneo en el campo: bateaba la pelota y llegaba a la primera base y finalmente a home. A muchos fanáticos de Pittsburgh les encantó su estilo audaz en el campo, pero no todos se apresuraron a acoger a un hombre negro de Puerto Rico que hablaba español. Este libro ilustrado de no ficción de la periodista de MLB.com Nathalie Alonso y el galardonado ilustrador Rudy Gutiérrez muestra los altibajos emocionales de la carrera de Roberto Clemente mientras luchaba contra el racismo (de los fanáticos, los periodistas y otras figuras del deporte) para convertirse en uno de los mejores jugadores de béisbol de todos los tiempos.
- Roberto Clemente always loved baseball. Growing up in Carolina, Puerto Rico, he swung tree branches (since he didn't have a bat) and hit tin cans. He was always batting, pitching, running, sliding. His dedication paid off when, at the age of 19, he was tapped for a major league team. First stop: chilly Montreal . . . where he warmed the bench and himself, longing to play baseball. Months later, he finally got his chance with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Clemente had an instant impact on the field--hitting the ball and making it to first base and finally home. Many Pittsburgh fans loved his bold style on the field, but not everyone was quick to embrace a Black man from Puerto Rico who spoke español. This nonfiction picture book by MLB.com journalist Nathalie Alonso and award-winning illustrator Rudy Gutierrez shows the emotional highs and lows of Roberto Clemente's career as he fought racism--from fans, reporters, and other figures in the sport--to become one of the greatest baseball players of all time.
- "Here is the inspirational story of Major League Baseball player Roberto Clemente--not Bob--who endured years of racism and discrimination to become one of the greatest baseball players of all time"-- Provided by publisher.
