Catch it! Like Roberto Clemente Did!

We will honor Roberto Clemente — The Great One — Hall of Famer and greatest Boricua baseball player of all time with a showcase of collector grade memorabilia, hosted by forever-fan Edwin Baez.

After 50+ years, Puerto Ricans still continue to remember and honor this selfless humanitarian. Clemente was “an unmistakable force on the field who made a powerful impact on young ballplayers.” His career was cut short on New Year’s Eve 1972, when Clemente died in a plane crash at age 38 attempting to deliver relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.
