“As his jubilant teammates showered each other with Champagne to celebrate winning the 1971 World Series, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Roberto Clemente – the Series’ most valuable player – stepped before the national microphones. Many Americans had learned in this Series what fans had known for a decade: Clemente was one of the sport’s finest, both on and off the field.
