In September 1971, Clemente was included in that days' lineup by manager Danny Murtagh. It was the first time in MLB history that any team started a lineup comprised of nine players of color.

I remember been in shock hearing the news the next morning. Roberto had led the Pirates to a World Series Championship and won WSMVP the year before. After earlier in the year suffering the heartbreak of the Reds scoring 2 in the bottom of the 9th to secure a comeback walk-off win in game 5 of the NLCS, this was a double gut punch. Here are some of my favorites.

I have a lot of friends from Puerto Rico, and they all, all of them, revere Roberto Clemente. I gave a friend of mine a 1968 Topps card of his, and my friend was in tears. If there can be such a thing, he was Babe Ruth to them. And I remember myself being in total shock that he was gone. The seven game 1971 World Series is one of my all-time favorites. I am a Yankees fan, but I would be perfectly okay with the Pirates being good again.

I recall hearing the news when I was a kid. Was impossible to get my mind around it then and still now, really. Such sadness. RIP to a great man.

Roberto Clemente was my first favorite vintage player to collect. My mom gave me the pictured '59 when I was about 12. I'm sure this was her way of imparting some of the values he stood for upon me. It is a card I'll never part with.
He so transcended the game and is someone we can all look up to, regardless of our own background.

Here are some of my holy relics related to baseball’s Patron Saint. I don’t often get to post over here. Thanks for indulging me.

Clemente
Here are some of my Clemente cards. Picked up a 1963 Pirates team autographed baseball about 2 years ago. One of my favorite pieces.
