Officials said they had to review the book under a new state law. 

The book tells the story of Clemente's life in Puerto Rico, his stardom with the Pirates, and his humanitarian work - which included fighting racism on and off the field. 

The book was one of about 1.6 million books that had to be reviewed. 

So far, around 7,000 have been approved.
