A rifle-armed right fielder, Roberto Clemente was one of his era's great hitters. A member of baseball's 3,000-hit club, a four-time batting champion and a .317 lifetime hitter, he was a feared member of the Pittsburgh Pirates batting order for nearly two decades. He won the 1966 NL Most Valuable Player award, and was a member of two World Championship teams, including his phenomenal performance in the 1971 Fall Classic, when he batted .414 and was voted the series MVP. Sadly, he perished at a young age in a plane crash while bringing relief supplies to Central America following an earthquake in Nicaragua in 1972.
