For years following Roberto Clemente's death, Pittsburgh Pirates fans hoped to see another Clemente - either eldest son Roberto Jr. or the younger Luis or Enrique - play right field.
It is apparent as the 15th anniversary of Clemente's fatal plane crash approaches, that is not going to happen. After briefly playing minor-league ball, the two elder sons have chosen other careers. Enrique, the youngest and still in high school, is most interested in mechanics.
But there still is a chance that Pirate fans some day may look into right field and see a young player falling to the ground after making a Clemente-type throw to home plate.
Former National Leaguer Jerry Morales, who as a teenager was taught the principles of outfield defense by Clemente, is now teaching those same methods to amateur players in Puerto Rico.
