Presented is a black and white Roberto Clemente photograph poster on 9½ x 21-inch white cardstock, depicting the late Hall of Fame outfielder at bat in his #21 Cangerjeros de Santurce uniform, a black leather baseball glove behind him on the ground. A caption in Spanish, written in black pen, is on the back of the photo, noting it was from the 1952 season at Sixto Escobar Stadium in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Cangrejeros de Santurce is a professional baseball team based in Santurce, the largest barrio of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The 1954–55 Cangrejeros, nicknamed “Panic Squad,” was the team's most notable roster, with a lineup that included future Hall of Famers Clemente and Willie Mays. This version of the Cangrejeros won the National and Caribbean championships by sweeping their respective series. The Pittsburgh rightfielder was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame posthumously in 1973, becoming both the first Latin American and Caribbean player to be enshrined.
