Elroy Face and all those different guys – they're partying types. And if they're the partying type, would you expect a man who was a sedentary individual to get involved? No. These individuals were drinking, they were out having parties – they have fun. Clemente was not that type of individual. Clemente said, "If I'm here to do a job, the job must take precedence. Now after the season is over, I can have all the parties I want. But if I'm here to do a job, I've signed a contract to do a job." But the American mentality is not that way. (Roberto Clemente)
