A universally respected baseball player and humanitarian, Roberto Clemente is held in the highest regard. A superb outfielder and outstanding hitter, he won a remarkable 12 consecutive Gold Glove awards and at his very last plate appearance collected his 3,000th hit. Under his leadership the Pirates reached the postseason five times, winning three National League crowns and two World Championships. He has signed the side panel of this ONL Giles baseball in felt tipped black pen "To Zach, Best Wishes, Roberto Clemente" rating a 9+. The ball shows a semi-even tone and indicates possible game use. The autograph comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
