Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker was a Puerto Rican professional baseball player.

He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973, becoming the first Latin American and Caribbean player to be enshrined. Clemente was an All-Star for twelve seasons and fifteen All-Star Games.[b] He was the NL Most Valuable Player in 1966, the NL batting leader in 1961, 1964, 1965, and 1967, and a Gold Glove winner for twelve consecutive seasons from 1961 through 1972. His batting average was over .300 for thirteen seasons and he had 3,000 major league hits during his career.
Willie Mays, nicknamed "The Say Hey Kid", spent most of his career as a center fielder for the Giants before finishing with the Mets. Mays won 2 MVP awards and ended his career with 660 home runs, 12 Gold Gloves, 3283 Hits, and a .302 batting average.

In 1999, The Sporting News ranked Aaron fifth on their "100 Greatest Baseball Players" list. He held the MLB record for career home runs for 33 years, and he still holds several MLB offensive records. He hit 24 or more home runs every year from 1955 through 1973, and is the only player to hit 30 or more home runs in a season at least fifteen times.
Aaron holds the record for the most seasons as an All-Star (21) and for the most All-Star Game selections (25). He also won three NL Gold Glove Awards. In 1957, he won the NL Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award when the Milwaukee Braves won the World Series. He holds MLB records for the most career runs batted in (RBI) (2,297), extra base hits (1,477), and total bases (6,856). Aaron is also in the top five for career hits (3,771) and runs (2,174).

At the time of his retirement, Aaron held most of the game's key career power hitting records.
