Roberto Clemente: MLB HOFer, Patriot Humantaian, and Family Man


In 1960 the Pittsburgh Pirates won the National League Pennant . Shortly. thereafter, Dick Groat was named, the National League MVP

Clemente was upset that he was not chosen, believing he was not chosen because of his race.

Many, including myself,, felt the same.

Why has this man's number. not been retired by MLB.

I, must ask the question, is his race behind the decision not to do so?

He. Is a MLB Hall of Famer.

He is a Patriot. having served in the USMC Reserves

He is a family man.

He is a Humanitarian, having lost his life trying to deliver supplies to a devasted county severely damaged by a natural disaster.

So, why has his number not been retired by MLB?

Is it the color of his skin?
