Quotes from Roberto Clemente

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

When I put on my uniform, I feel I am the proudest man on earth.

My father used to say, 'I want you to be a good man; I want you to learn how to work. And I want you to be a serious person.' I grew up with that in my mind.

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

To the people here, we are outsiders. Foreigners.
