Our Gold Glove analysis for each decade on MLB Monday is taking a break this week, as we do something we don’t often do: promote something we received via press release. But this is special: a new documentary on Roberto Clemente, the Hall of Fame right fielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates, opens in theaters on September 12, for Hispanic Heritage Month and MLB’s annual Roberto Clemente Day on September 15.

“Clemente explores the life, career, and lasting impact of Roberto Clemente. One of baseball’s most iconic figures, the trailblazing Puerto Rican baseball legend and humanitarian’s legacy continues to resonate across generations. The film features interviews with Rita Moreno, Michael Keaton, Francisco Lindor, Richard Linklater, Bob Costas, Tom Morello, David Maraniss, and Yadier Molina.”

He spent 18 years in the majors, registering exactly 3,000 hits, as everyone pretty much knows, due to the tragedy that took his life on New Year’s Eve 1972. He won 12 Gold Gloves, was a 15-time All Star, and both a seasonal MVP and a World Series MVP. Oh, did we mention he also won four batting titles? There was little Clemente could not do on a baseball field, of course, but there was always more to him than just the stats.

“As the first high-profile Latino player to play in MLB in the United States, Roberto’s extraordinary career opened the door for generations of Latino baseball players to come. It is, however, Roberto’s remarkable life off the field that defined his legacy. Committed to uplifting society’s marginalized and under-represented he fearlessly fought for social justice and racial equality with steadfast resolve.”

Clemente died a humanitarian, which is more than an assclown like Barry Bonds—another Pirates legend—will ever be able to say. In his final season, Clemente still managed 4.8 WAR at age 37; his .312 batting average and .835 OPS suggest he probably could have played until he was at least 40 years old. That would have pushed his career WAR even higher, in addition to giving a boost to his counting stats: all-time great.

But let’s get back to the off-the-field details: we’re not going to try to do better than others already have with this. So, to quote others, “Off [the diamond], he was a role model to the people of his homeland and elsewhere. Helping others represented the way Clemente lived. It would also represent the way he died … Clemente left behind memories of how he played the game on the field and how he lived his life off it.”

His biography on the Society for American Baseball Research website is one of the best—and most comprehensive—we’ve ever read. We recommend both that read and this documentary for baseball fans who care for and can grasp historical significance of the game and its contributions to societies all over the planet. The two-time World Series champion is one of the most amazing men to ever grace the MLB fields.
