Roberto Clemente Jr.

His father and namesake Roberto Clemente was the first Latin American player to compile 3,000 hits in Major League Baseball history.

In 1984, he was spotted by a Philadelphia Phillies scout, and signed by the organization,[6] joining their division-A team in 1985,[7] the same year in which he made his debut in the Puerto Rican winter baseball league, with the Arecibo Wolves.

After playing two seasons with the Phillies, he joined the San Diego Padres after Sandy Alomar Sr. arranged it with the organization in 1986,[8] but he had a knee injury during spring training and was not able to make the team.

[citation needed] He became a well-known player in Venezuela, but after signing a minor league contract with the Baltimore Orioles before the 1989 season, he suffered a career-ending injury to his back and had to retire from professional baseball.

[citation needed] In 2001, Clemente hosted the Spanish version of MLB's network television show, Baseball Max, and by 2002, was conducting game interviews for ESPN Deportes Radio.

[citation needed] In 2005, Clemente hosted a Saturday afternoon show on WFAN in New York City called The Latin Beat.

[citation needed] Clemente was selected to serve as commissioner of President George W. Bush's South Lawn tee-ball League.
