26 years ago, my oldest daughter was born. And to think, this 6 lb 4 oz baby would dream about becoming a doctor. This morning, I sent her a HBD video and she replied with this heartfelt pic from the hospital. Next May, she graduates and we will officially welcome Dr. Torres. 🙏🏼

HEARTBROKEN: 20 years ago, I met Vida Blue at a Roberto Clemente charity event. We stayed friends. The last text I received from him was about being in the exclusive club known as the Black Aces. Enjoyed the banter between you and Dock. And what a pitcher he was. But a better man

In Dec. 1972, Luis R. Mayoral, a dear friend of Roberto Clemente, asked “The Great One” who was the best SS in MLB. Without hesitation, Clemente replied, “Bud Harrelson.” I connected Luis with Bud and his reaction was heartfelt. He choked up and said, “Wow.” RIP Bud Harrelson. 🙏🏼

DINNER WITH A KING: In February, 1962, Roberto Clemente and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dined at Clemente’s restaurant El Carretero in Carolina, Puerto Rico. Here is an actual check slip from the restaurant. Just IMAGINE their conversation while eating pernil y arroz con gandules.

The TRUE Meaning of Roberto Clemente: “His hands were large. I believe more than anything else his hands reflected his spirit. He gripped the bat with the strength of a tiger. When he saw a child and patted their head his hands were extremely gentle.” Luis R. Mayoral, 1973

While strolling in NYC, this beautiful 91-year-old actress caught my eye. She said, “How did you recognize me? I replied, “I believe there’s a hero in all of us.” What joy to take a selfie with Ms. Rosemary Harris aka Aunt May Parker/ Spider-Man. Powerful words to live by.

On a rainy afternoon in the Bronx to visit my Mom, I stopped by Roberto Clemente Plaza. I thought about the earthquake he faced and now it’s COVID-19. He said, “Any time you have an opportunity to make a difference in this world and you don’t you are wasting your time on Earth.”
