is proudly raising her daughter in America—but faces an unthinkable hardship that threatens all she has worked to achieve

and newspapermen long charmed by D’Amato

Call Me Roberto!: Roberto Clemente Goes to Bat for Latinos Kumar Sivasubramanian is proudly raising her daughterRoberto Clemente always loved baseball. Growing up in Carolina, Puerto Rico, he swung tree branches (since he didnt have a bat) and hit tin cans. He was always batting, pitching, running, sliding. His dedication paid off when, at the age of 19, he was tapped for a major league team. First stop: chilly Montreal . . . where he warmed the bench and himself, longing to play baseball. Months later, he finally got his chance with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
