Roberto Clemente Jr. to Speak at Westminster College April 11

Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2007

Roberto Clemente Jr., son of the late Hall of Fame baseball player, will be speaking at Westminster College Wednesday, April 11, at 8 p.m. in the Wallace Memorial Chapel.

Sponsored by the Westminster College Young Presbyterian Scholars (YPS), the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and the Chapel Office, Clemente will share a motivational speech themed "Sportsmanship: On a Team, On Your Own."

Clemente, a baseball broadcaster and a former professional baseball player whose career was shortened because of injuries, is a gifted speaker who in 1993 established the Roberto Clemente Foundation, named for his father who was the first Latin American baseball player to register 3,000 hits in Major League Baseball history as a player for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1955 until his tragic death in 1972.

The event is free and open to the public.

Contact Carey Anne Meyer-LaSor, coordinator of the YPS program, by phoning 724-946-7365 or by e-mail at mailto:meyerca@westminster.edu for more information.
