Luis Clemente and Angel Matos both say they are committed to keeping Roberto Clemente’s Sports City dream alive and preserving his legacy, but there is a wide chasm separating their ideas on how to do so. Great read from ⁦@FontainePGH⁩ triblive.com/sports/roberto…

"In the clubhouse, we knew Roberto had this dream of having a Sports City that would encompass education and sports hand-in-hand,” said Steve Blass. Fantastic work by @FontainePGH and @SeanStipp that took them to Puerto Rico. Video embedded in this story. triblive.com/sports/roberto…

Roberto Clemente dreamed of creating a place that would use sports as a vehicle to lift up children and give them purpose and direction. Sports City became a reality after his tragic death. 50 years later, it’s largely in ruins. Here’s what happened: triblive.com/sports/roberto…
