Roberto Clemente Quote

The Pirate rightfielder seems a bit miffed because the new owners of the Santurce team in the Puerto Rican league upped and sold him [to San Juan] when they bought the team this season. "I didn't like the trade," Clemente explained. "Santurce is close to my home town and I like the fans there. They good to me and cheer me all the time. I may not go back. I may work in Pittsburgh."

As paraphrased and quoted in "Roberto Does Better When He's Ailing" by Les Biederman, in The Pittsburgh Press (Saturday, March 2, 1957), p. 6 - Baseball-related
