Even baseball immortals have to get their hair done. Roberto Clemente and his favorite barbers in San Juan are seen getting in their cuts. In this offbeat look at Clemente during Winter League play, two of the 8-by-10 photos are creased, torn, taped and stained. Yet the images of Clemente reading in the barber chair and posing outside with the barbers do not lose their fascination. The third photo, another pose with his barbers, has aged a lot better. Photos come from one of the barbers, who obviously enjoyed his brush with a legend.
