Stage review: 'Great One' a touching debut for playwright

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Consider the title of Russ Babines' new play, "The Great One."

By the latter stages of his career, Clemente became recognized as the masterful ballplayer he was and, when his life was ended early while ferrying relief supplies to Nicaragua, as a humanitarian, as well.
