9 pm/ET PBS (check local listings) New Roberto Clemente was a National League MVP, 12-time Gold Glove winner and two-time World Series winner — yet he's remembered as much for his humanitarian work as his baseball stats. Narrated by Jimmy Smits, this profile of the posthumous Hall of Famer delves into the difficulties he faced at his first training camp in 1955 and his decision to promote human rights, and also features insights from his widow, Vera Clemente, fellow baseball great Orlando Cepeda, biographer David Maraniss (
Clemente) and George Will (
Men at Work: The Craft of Baseball). —
