In the USA TODAY Sports article "Clemente's Impact Wanes in Puerto Rico 40 Years After His Death," author Jorge Ortiz recalls how the famed sportsman was a huge impact on everyone who knew him. The Puerto Rican sportsman had died trying to deliver relief supplies to the Nicaraguan earthquake victims.
