Lot 706: Rare 1954 Roberto Clemente Program NRMT
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
The incredible Clemente cover issue of "Revista del Beisbol", from December 20, 1954 features a shot of Roberto in his Santurce uniform and wearing one of the widest smiles ever captured by a camera. In later years, that smile seemed to get a little smaller each day, and a more troubled Clemente emerged than the happy-go-lucky youngster for whom stardom and tragedy was fated. Program is 6 x 9" with the cover listing the Puerto Rican Winter League's 5 teams. NRMT inside and out with the pages chock full of league stats and box scores and a centerfold scorecard. From the season he shared the field with Willie Mays.
