During his 18-year career with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Roberto Clemente's achievements were many: he was a 15-time All Star, a 12-time Gold Glove Award winner, the 1966 National League MVP, 3,000 Hits Club member and eventually a Hall of Famer. Even though his skills on the baseball diamond placed his name with the likes of Mays, Aaron, Mantle and other greats of his day, some would argue that his greatest achievements in life were the charitable contributions he made to those less fortunate. Clemente was killed too soon - on December 31, 1972, his plane crashed while flying relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. This Haiti leather sphere has been signed boldly with possibly the finest sweet spot autograph in all the hobby from Roberto Clemente. Truly a stunning ball that boast a signature worthy of grading. Overall in fine condition with moderate toning. Authenticated by PSA/DNA with a full letter of authenticity.
