"Roberto's two-out home run in the fourth inning of the deciding seventh game gave the Pirates their 2-1 win. In the heat of that series, Roberto said, 'I want to be remembered as a ballplayer who gave all he had to give.' Although this was Roberto's second World Series win with the Pirates (the first was in 1960), in 1971 he definitely led the show. An international audience finally saw what Pittsburgh fans had seen from The Great One for nearly two decades." - Roberts, Jerry. Author. Roberto Clemente: Baseball Player. Checkmark Books. 1 November 2005. Page 5. [Roberto Clemente Quotes]
