Conoce al miembro del Salón de la Fama del Béisbol, Roberto Clemente, antes solo un niño de Carolina, Puerto Rico, al que le encantaba jugar pelota en las calles de su pueblo con sus parientes y amigos. Roberto, un estelar jardinero derecho, jugó dieciocho temporadas en las Grandes Ligas, pero su vida terminó trágicamente cuando el avión que había alquilado para llevar auxilio a Nicaragua chocó. Clemente, el primer jugador latinoamericano que ingresó en el Salón Nacional de la Fama del Béisbol, allanó el camino para las futuras generaciones de peloteros latinos.

Hispanic Star celebra con orgullo a los héroes latinos e hispanos que han hecho grandes contribuciones a la cultura estadounidense y representan una fuerza indiscutible para labrar su futuro.
