These eyes of this special man are frozen in time for all who loved him dearly. Tick,you will know"The Great One" as I'm sure you've seen him play and were amazed as much as I was. On New Year's Eve 1972 on a mission of mercy this kind man was lost in an plane crash. The people of Pittsburgh Pa will never forget our Roberto Clemente. PS~not one of my best captures,but near and dear to my heart!

Well composed image Ami. In spite of the strong back-light you have got a clear view of the statue.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Roberto Clemente was one of my all time favorite players, Ami. What an arm he had, and that guy could flat out hit. I was crushed when he was killed in the plane crash. Nice shot, and thanks for sharing this one.

The one fact that I remember was he got his 3000th hit in his final at bat in the 1972 season. He was killed that off season.
What a ballplayer, Roberto Clements.

A wonderful post Ami.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

A photograph is a memory in the raw. I will always treasure mine.
