In this episode of Greatest Sports Legends, host George Plimpton explores the record-setting career of Roberto Clemente. Roberto Clemente Walker's pride and humanitarianism won him universal admiration. Despite an unorthodox batting style, the Pirates' great won four batting crowns and amassed 3,000 hits. He was equally brilliant in right field, where he displayed a precise and powerful arm. Clemente earned National League MVP honors in 1966, but achieved his greatest fame in the 1971 World Series, when he batted .414. Tragically, Clemente's life ended at age 38 - the victim of a plane crash while flying relief supplies to Nicaraguan earthquake victims. This video contains an in-depth interview with teammate Willie Stargel as well as footage of the games and home runs that made this World Champion and member of the 3,000 Hit Club stand out in history.
