Wilfred Santiago - 21

"21 - The Story of Roberto Clemente" is a graphic novel about the life and times of Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente who was tragically taken from the baseball world much too early.    Beautifully drawn and a decent look at the man's life.  Little disjointed and really the story is more about him then his life on the diamond.  Some decent looks at his baseball and that was the best part.  I would think illustrating a baseball game has to be very difficult but Santiago does a great job.  I hear that Japan has baseball manga...too bad we don't have that type of baseball writing here in the States.
