Roberto Clemente: Young Ball Player (Childhood of Famous Americans Series) Book

The book Roberto Clemente is a story about a Hall of Fame Baseball player. In the story Roberto Clemente is a boy who loves to play baseball and can't stop playing it. This passion of his leads him to a successful Major League Baseball career and life with a wife and kids. The setting of his childhood is in his native country of Puerto Rico. Then his adulthood took place in the United States of America traveling across the country playing Major League Baseball for the Pittsburg Pirates. A major event in this story is when it talks about his surprising death delivering supplies to Puerto Rico after they were struck by an earthquake. His plane's motor was failing and didn't make it back to where they had launched from and him and the rest of the crew on board had died. I like this story because it was very interesting and enjoyable.
