==Before accident==
Roberto Clemente was a baseball star for the Pittsburgh Pirates, having won two World Series championships with them, and becoming only the 11th player in the sport's history to collect 3,000 hits on September 1972, in what ultimately turned out to be his last at bat in Baseball's Major Leagues. During October 1972, he went to Managua, Nicaragua to coach the Puerto Rico national baseball team during that year's Amateur Baseball World Series.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roberto Clemente a role model for all - MLB )〕
Only two months after Clemente's visit, on December 23, an earthquake in Managua took place,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC ON THIS DAY - 23 - 1972: Earthquake wreaks devastation in Nicaragua )〕 causing the deaths of 5,000 persons and devastation to Nicaragua's capital. Many countries sent help but Nicaraguan President Anastasio Somoza Debayle and his government personnel were suspected of stealing goods sent to Nicaragua.〔 This made Clemente desire to send help, paid for with his own money, and to go and supervise the delivery of goods himself. Clemente had been convinced to involve himself in the relief efforts by local television show host, reporter and celebrity Luis Vigoreaux.〔http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0818.html〕
