Hello, I'm Linda and I'll be leading the discussion of one of April's selected books, Clemente, by David Maraniss. A long drive last week prompted me to check out the audiobook of this title about baseball great Roberto Clemente and it was terrific driving entertainment. The spouse, a huge baseball fan, totally enjoyed listening. Since serious baseball fans often are radio listeners, the audio version worked well for him. He also remembered fondly some of the action recounted.
I was particularly interested in the accounts of what it was like to be one of the very first latino players in the big leagues--and actually Clemente's early career in the fifties was not that far behind Jackie Robinson's breaking of baseball's color line.
Any other big fans out there? Others who remember this era of pre-steroid baseball?
