　　Roberto Clemente was one of the most honored baseball players in history.Many players are known for their skills or the records they broke.But Roberto was loved not only for his ability in sports，but also for the kind of person that he was.

　　Roberto was born in 1934 in Carolina，Puerto Rico，whose family struggled financially.As a young boy，he helped his father，who worked on a sugar farm and also managed a store that sold food.

　　In school，Roberto was an excellent runner.But more than anything，he loved playing baseball.Puerto Rico’s warm island climate made it easy for the young boy to play baseball all year.But he was good at throwing balls to a great distance.

　　While in high school，Roberto played baseball for the Santurce Crabbers in the Puerto Rico’s Winter League.At 18，Roberto was already hitting a baseball better than many professional players in the United States.

　　This ability was recognized the following year.An official from the Brooklyn Dodgers team in New York City came to Puerto Rico looking for new young players.The official，Al Campanis，was pleased with Roberto’s skills.He offered to give him a 10,000 dollar gift to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

　　But Roberto was unable to join the major league team because he was still in high school.The young baseball player told Mr.Campanis that he would join the Brooklyn team as soon as he finished school.
