1960 Roberto Clemente Instructional Negatives (8)
Eight vintage 4x5" negatives are another reminder of the god-like aura Roberto had in his homeland, and the pride he had working with kids trying to follow in his immense footsteps. From pictures taken on November 30, 1960 -- a month after his Pirates beat the mighty Yankees in the World Series -- Roberto is shown at a series of instructional "Clinicas de Bateo" -- or batting clinics -- for kids, something he ritualistically did every winter until his death. That selflessness and national pride are part of the legacy he left behind. Included with the negs is an envelope that reads "Roberto Clemente Dando Clinicas de Beisbol Rio Grande Nov 30/1960," and another that reads "Roberto Clemente, Clinicas a Ninos," two important items of Clemente arcana. Negs are NRMT, in original envelope.
