Dick Stuart on Roberto Clemente

← Back to Roberto Clemente Profile
“Sure, I know Mantle led the American League in homers, but we got a couple of guys besides myself who can hit home runs, too. Clemente can hit a ball as far as anyone. He leans toward left field and hits to right.”

“There must be the best 169-pound slugger in baseball.”
Roberto Clemente
“Don’t let anybody kid you he can’t hit for distance. When he wants to, he can power one as far as anybody in baseball. He's smart enough to go for line drives at Forbes Field. That's no park for home run hitters.”
