Javier Baez stepped into Roberto Clemente's cleats for a night

Almost every baseball-playing child in Puerto Rico grows up trying to emulate local legend Roberto Clemente.

Few ever imagine, though, to one day achieve a feat on a similar level as he did.

Javier Baez of the Chicago Cubs managed that in Game 7 of the World Series against the Cleveland Indians, when he became the second player born in Puerto Rico to hit a home run in a such a situation.
