ALABAMA - A New York representative is pushing an initiative that would see Roberto Clemente's name be commemorated in U.S. currency. Adriano Espaillat, congressman from the Bronx, has put a bill in motion that would honor the Puerto Rican's impact on the "Latinization" of baseball and his commitment to helping others.
"From Puerto Rico to Cuba to the Dominican Republic to Venezuela and now even Mexico...the pioneer for all that was Roberto Clemente," said Espaillat in an interview with The New York Times.
