Roberto Clemente With Young Boy
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of a seated Roberto Clemente holding a baseball bat and pointing to the sweet spot with a young boy Junior James, looking on. Clemente is in his home Pittsburgh Pirates uniform and is looking left of the camera. James is looking at Clemente with a large smile on his face. The caption underneath the photograph reads, "(PG3) PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25 -- THE HITS COME FROM THERE -- Pittsburgh's Bob Clemente, the National League's leading hitter, proudly shows Junior James, 9, where he likes to hit the ball. Clemente, hitting .355, didn't get a chance to hit anything tonight as the Pittsburgh-Los Angeles game was rained out. AP WIREPHOTO (mac22300wfa-stfd) 1961."
