'''Roberto Clemente''' was one of the greatest [[baseball]] players ever, particularly as an all-round player.  He had a hit in every World Series game, was the 11th player to reach 3,000 hits overall, the highest batting average of anyone in the 1960s, and perhaps the finest arm of any outfielder ever.  He won a record 12 Golden Gloves, and is ranked as the greatest defensive right fielder of all time.<ref>https://www.thereporter.com/2020/09/09/sieger-some-say-roberto-clemente-was-the-greatest-ever/</ref>  Clemente was baseball's greatest humanitarian.

A devout [[Christian]] who was outspoken about his [[faith]] in [[God]], Clemente's career was tragically cut short when his relief plane crashed on a mercy mission to [[Nicaragua]] after a devastating [[earthquake]] there on December 31, 1972 (he was traveling there due to political theft of relief supplies; it was believed that Clemente's presence would stop the thefts from occurring).  In a much-watched interview of him on the field when asked about when he thought he would get his 3,000th hit, he said that you never know what will happen tomorrow because that is up to [[God]]; he would get his 3,000th hit in what would be his final game.
