10 notable quotes by roberto clemente
- When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a baseball player. This is something I think about. The more I think about it, I’m convinced that God wanted me to play baseball.
- I would be lost without baseball. I don’t think I could stand being away from it as long as I was alive.
- If I would be happy, I would be a very bad ball player. With me, when I get mad, it puts energy in my body.
- There’s no difference between me and you. You need something, a glove, a place to live, you let me know.
- I wasn’t ready for the majors when I joined the Pirates in 1955. I was too young and didn’t know my way around.
- The Dodgers told me a big bonus was no good, and they said other players would resent it. Better for me to take a small amount of money and work my way.
- I used to watch Monte Irvin play when I was a kid. I idolized him. I used to wait in front of the ballpark just for him to pass by so I could see him.
- I loved the game so much that even though our playing field was muddy and we had many trees on it, I used to play many hours every day.
- They said you’d really have to be something to be like Babe Ruth. But Babe Ruth was an American player. What we needed was a Puerto Rican player they could say that about, someone to look up to and try to equal.
- The farther away you writers stay, the better I like it. You know why? Because you’re trying to create a bad image of me… you do it because I’m black and Puerto Rican, but I’m proud to be Puerto Rican.
