Roberto Clemente was one of the most exciting baseball players of his era; an electrifying outfielder who was a true five-tool player. A member of both the 1960 and 1971 Pirates World Series champion teams, the humble Clemente quietly amassed exactly 3,000 hits in his 18-season career. A 12-time National League All-Star, Clemente earned 12 consecutive Gold Glove Awards between 1961 and 1972. Tragically, Clemente is best known for his much-too-early death in a plane crash off the coast of Puerto Rico. Clemente is pictured here in his home Pirates uniform and has signed this 4 x 6-inch photo in black Sharpie. Clemente, a 1973 Hall of Fame inductee, passed away in 1972. This item comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA, who have graded Clemente's signature a 7/10 (Auto Cert: AC01446)
