Vern Law
"Cy Young & World Series Champs 1960"
I sent a request to Vern Law asking him to write about his memories of playing with Roberto Clemente on a baseball and this is what I received:
"Roberto was one of a kind. He had all the talent
and skills to be what he became- "The Great One". He had all the tools-
Great speed, one of the best and accruate arms and great hitting skills."
"Roberto had a very wonderful smile [and] was easy to like him and fit right
into our club. We would never [have] been in a World Series and won a W.S.
without him."
"Roberto was also a fun guy. He like[d] to joke around
and brought a lot of smiles and laughter to our team."
"Anyone who did what
he did for baseball and for fans should be respected and honored"
