I want to be remembered as a ballplayer who gave all he had to give.

When I put on my uniform, I feel I am the proudest man on earth.

Roberto Clemente was a legendary figure both as a player and a humanitarian. I have long been aware of his heroic efforts on behalf of others, and to have my name associated with his is a very special honor.

I still see him sometimes when I am alone. People remember him as a ballplayer, but he was so much more. He was a father, a husband, a wonderful man.
