I know this is a "Marineros" board, but this is a celebration of a great man's life.
The final day of 2022 will mark 50 years since one of the most tragic events in baseball history.
On Dec. 31, 1972, Roberto Clemente was killed in a plane crash while he was on his way to deliver emergency supplies to an earthquake-ravaged Nicaragua.
On Thursday, MLB celebrates the 21st annual Roberto Clemente Day, and with it, commemorates the passage of a half-century since the Hall of Famer’s death.
The Pirates, for whom Clemente played his entire 18-year Major League career, will play the Mets at Citi Field in New York, with all players, managers and coaches for both clubs donning Clemente’s No. 21 on their uniforms. The game will be televised nationally by FOX at 7 p.m. ET.
