The son of Roberto Clemente and brother of Luis Clemente, Roberto Clemente Jr. spent three seasons in the minor leagues. Signed by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1984, his best season came in his final campaign in 1986 when he hit .229/~.308/.257 for the Charleston Rainbows. Knee and back injuries didn't help Roberto's chances and he gave up his baseball career in 1989.
After retiring, Clemente Jr. worked with charities in Puerto Rico and Pittsburgh to help continue his father's giving legacy. He also has worked as a baseball commentator, especially for Spanish-language audiences.
