When he moved to the United States, Desi Arnaz turned to show business to support himself. In 1939, he starred on Broadway in the musical Too Many Girls. He went to Hollywood the next year to appear in the show's movie version at RKO, which starred Lucille Ball. Arnaz and Ball eloped on November 30, 1940.
An empty flight case apparently belonging to Clemente was the only personal item recovered from the plane. Clemente's teammate and close friend Manny Sanguillen was the only member of the Pirates not to attend Roberto's memorial service. The catcher chose instead to dive into the waters where Clemente's plane had crashed in an effort to find his teammate. Clemente's body was never recovered.
In 1964, he committed 10 miscues. In 1971, he fielded .993 and the following year at age 38, he was flawless in 94 games. Roberto co-holds the major league career mark of 12 Gold Gloves with Mays. Clemente's prowess was largely a secret outside of the city of Pittsburgh.
