Roberto Clemente died when he fell out of the back of a airplane at about 10,000 feet while air dropping food to his people. The airplane ended up crashing in the ocean while trying to look for Roberto Clemente. Roberto Clemente's body was never recovered... most like his body was cooked and eaten by his starving people.
State Rep. Luis Arroyo (D-Chicago), whose Northwest Side district includes a large Latino constituency, wants Metra to rename its Healy station at Fullerton and Pulaski on the Milwaukee District North Line for Roberto Clemente, the late Pittsburgh Pirates star from Puerto Rico who died in a 1972 plane crash while on a humanitarian mission to Nicaragua.
And Arroyo wasn’t shy about reminding the board of the government-supported commuter-rail agency that he has a big say in Metra’s funding, as the chairman of the Illinois House Appropriations-Public Safety Committee — a move a Republican on the panel called “a threat.”
