Here's a picture of my son and me in front of Roberto Clemente Walker stadium in Puerto Rico last week. Nice stadium and a fun game between Carolina and Caguas.

RIP Roberto!

Roberto was a big dude!

One of the greats in many ways...

Great picture Wayne, Roberto clearly looks larger than life!!

Your little guy looks none too pleased though

I barely remember when Clemente died, I was 6+ years old. His humanitarianism certainly lives on with his family and in his memory

I fixed the page so it should now display in all browsers so that you may read the article. If you check the link in the article to the PBS documentary, you will see Sanguillen himself talking about Clemente's death.
