August 18, 1934 - December 31, 1972 was a Puerto Rican. Who played 18 seasons in Major League Baseball. (MLB) for the Pittsburgh Pirates. After his early death, he was posthumously inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1973, becoming both the first Caribbean and the first Latin-American player to be enshrined. Because he died at a young age and had such a historic career, the Hall of Fame changed its rules of eligibility. As an alternative to a player having to be retired for five years before eligibility, a player who has been deceased for at least six months is eligible for entry. For 13 seasons, selected to 15 All-Star Games. He was the National League. (MVP) in 1966, the NL batting leader. In 1961, 1964, 1965, and 1967, and a Gold Glove Award.

Winner for 12 consecutive seasons from 1961 through 1972. 300 for 13 seasons and he had 3,000 hits. During his major league career.

He also was a two-time World Series champion. Clemente was the first player from the Caribbean and Latin America to win a World Series as a starting position player (1960), to receive an NL MVP Award (1966), and to receive a World Series MVP Award.

Clemente was involved in charity work in Latin American and Caribbean countries during the off-seasons. He often delivered baseball equipment and food to those in need. In 1972, he died in a plane crash.

At the age of 38 while en route to deliver aid to victims of the Nicaragua earthquake. The following season, the Pirates retired his uniform number. 21, and MLB renamed its annual Commissioner's Award in his honor.

Now known as the Roberto Clemente Award. It is given to the player who best exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual's contribution to his team. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes.

This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I stand by every item I sell. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best).
