Profiling Efrain Nieves

The Post Crescent has profiled Rattlers pitcher Efrain Nieves.

Q: You mentioned Roberto Clemente as being one of your favorite players growing up. Is he still revered in your native Puerto Rico?

A: Definitely. Not only in our country, but I think in Nicaragua, too. That's where he tried to help the people out (at the time of his plane crash). He's a huge hero down in Puerto Rico. Growing up, having that role model — not only was he a great player, but a great human being.
