El Efecto Clemente
Sunday, March 10, 10:30 p.m.
ESPN Deportes TV
ESPN Deportes will premiere The Clemente Effect, a feature-length documentary that chronicles the life and accomplishments of Roberto Clemente. The network’s exclusive Spanish-language coverage of the World Baseball Classic game between Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico at 7:30 p.m. will appropriately serve as a lead-in for the film on ESPN Deportes.
Forty years ago, Clemente died in a tragic plane accident while delivering aid to victims of an earthquake in Nicaragua. Yet Clemente’s legacy remains and his effect is still felt across the U.S. and Latin America decades later. The original footage is paired with present day interviews of family, close friends and baseball stars such as Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda, two-time American League MVP Juan González, three-time All-Star Carlos Baerga, 2003 AL RBI Champion Carlos Delgado, 2007 World Series Champion Alex Cora, Pittsburgh Pirates teammate Steve Blass, and 2012 No.1 overall pick Carlos Correa.
