One of baseball's greatest true heros and the first Hispanic American inducted into the Hall of Fame. Elected posthumously in 1973 -- the only exception to the mandatory five-year post-retirement waiting period since it was instituted in 1954.
Born in Barrio San Anton in Carolina, Puerto Rico, August 18, 1934. Played right field 18 seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates, 1955-1972. One of only four MLB players to have won 10 or more golden gloves titles (he had 12) and a .300+ lifetime batting average. Led the Pirates to two World Series victories (1960 and 1971).
Spent much of his time during the off-season in charity work. He would always make it a point to visit children's hospitals in the cities he played in. Died in a plane crash off the coast of Isla Verde, Puerto Rico on December 31, 1972 while en route to deliver aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.

Get the Roberto Clemente mug.The Covidiots Capital of America. A place where women with bad boob jobs think that their tight face lift will ward off the Coronavirus.
Hey everyone! We live in San Clemente, California. We are Covidiots. We don't care that people are dying from Coronavirus. We want to exercise our right to pretend we know how to surf, and go to a glossy canteen and drink. We're going to invite the media so we can show off our botched boob jobs.

Get the San Clemente, California mug.Related Words
A town in the south of Orange County. It used to be a really cool low-key beach town. Now it is just a blingy place with a bunch of wanna-bes who are upsidedown in their mortgages. It is filled with botox hags/40 year old ex strippers/"cheerleaders" who are so worthless they can't even get a job. They sit around and scream at their wannabe surfer husbands because they can't make enough money to keep up with what they think is their "lifestyle." Some may or may not be swingers. The houses were build like crap in the early and mid two thousands. These bozos paid way too much for the houses and now they are stuck with homes they couldn't afford in the first place.
Walking through the mall I noticed 6 botox hags. They must be from San Clemente, California Wish they would put on more clothes I really don't want to look at them.

Get the clemente mug.A town in Orange County, California. The town isn't very nice to live in.
The school system is lacking. The high school used to actually be decent, but it went downhill once the principal, Mike Halt, was removed by the corrupt-as-hell superintendent. He was escorted out by police officers, and received a gag order so he couldn't protest his unjust removal. Ever since he was removed the high school has been overrun by drug use, mainly in the form of vapes. Shorecliffs middle school is almost as bad. You would think a lot fewer kids would vape, but that's not really the case. The high school gives kids resources for reporting kids that are using drugs, but Shorecliffs doesn't even do that. The high school teachers are actually pretty good. Shorecliffs teachers are, well, bad. The math department, and to an extent the science department, is pretty good, but everything else is absolute garbage. The English department is especially crap.
The people of San Clemente are... okay. They're not really that great. If you don't make good money you better pack your stuff up as soon as you arrive since the people (especially the kids and even extremely wealthy adults) look down on people who make less money. They're REALLY full of themselves.
Pros:
-Bragging rights. You can brag to people who are still ignorant enough to think it's good.
Cons:
-Relatively poor schools
-Drug usage (Look up Henry Nicholas)
-High real estate prices.
-Roads littered with garbage from homeless people.
