Roberto Clemente Quotes


Roberto Clemente

Baseball has been very good to me.

I want to be remembered as a ballplayer who gave all he had to give.

I am convinced that God wanted me to be a baseball player. I was born to play baseball.

I am more valuable to my team hitting .330 then swinging for home runs.

If I would be happy, I would be a very bad ball player. With me, when I get mad, it puts energy in my body.

I am convinced that God wanted me to be a baseball player.

I was born to play baseball.

To the people here, we are outsiders. Foreigners.

But some people act like they think I live in the jungle someplace.

I want to be remembered as a ballplayer who gave all I had to give.
