He was the first black on a pro baseball team, but life wasn't easy for him. He wasn't allow to stay in the same hotels or eat in the same places as the rest of the team because he was black. His team mates were also rather rude to him.

In the 1939 World Series, the New York Yankees swept the Cincinnati Reds in four straight games to capture the World Championship. Game four of the Series was played in Cincinnati with the Yankees winning 7-4 in 10 innings, pushing across 3 runs in the top of the 10th. Winning pitcher was reliever Johnny Murphy. It was Murphy's only appearance in the Series and he pitched 3 1/3 inning, gave up 5 hits, one run, struck out 2 and had no walks. The 30 year old had lead the American League in saves that season with 19, while appearing in 38 games for the Yankees, all in relief. The losing pitcher, by the way, was Reds ace, Bucky Walters, who came into the game in relief in the 8th inning to suffer his 2nd loss of the Series.

At least two characters have had the name "Potato Pete".

One was a cartoon character (an anthropomorphic potato), originally used in World War 2 to promote the consumption of potatoes, especially those grown in home gardens. (Also used was "Doctor Carrot".)

The second was one of the original entrants in the Great Pierogi Race, an animated and funny-costume contest presented by the Pittsburgh Pirates during baseball games (inspired by the "racing sausages" mascots of the Milwaukee Brewers). In 2003, Potato Pete was replaced by Oliver Onion. The entertainment is sponsored by Mrs. T's Pierogies of Shenandoah, PA.

The color barrier, among others.

The rumors are that yes, he had a girlfriend. In fact, on the night of his death, he was flying to meet with his girlfriend after having a fight with his wife. In Puerto Rico, New Year's Eve is a huge holiday that is spent with close family. For Roberto Clemente to decide that he was going to fly on New Year's Eve to go anywhere, is highly implausible. He was, however, a great humanitarian. Thus, when he died, his manager developed the plausible cover story that he was on a mission to help the people of Nicaragua after an earthquake. The earthquake occured on Dec. 23rd. So, one would wonder why Roberto Clemente waited 1 week to go to help the people of Nicaragua on the day of one of the most celebrated holidays in Puerto Rico.

He chose the number 21 because it is the number of letters in his full name. (Roberto Clemente Walker)

Roberto Clemente was 38 years old when he died in a plane crash. Born August 1934 died December 1972
