Beyond Baseball: The Life of Roberto Clemente is a 2008 MUSE AWARD WINNER!
Roberto Clemente became a baseball legend during the 1960s and '70s with his explosive throwing arm, his lightning speed, and his high batting average, but he was much more than an astounding athlete.
For millions of fans across the world, especially in his native Puerto Rico and in Latin America, Clemente was a cultural hero who gave underprivileged people a voice. His story is a study in character, drive, and the ascendancy of man to myth.
