Roberto Clemente was a remarkable right fielder who earned a pair of World Series rings with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1960 and ’71). A 15-time All-Star, he won 12 Gold Glove Awards and was named the MVP of the ’71 Fall Classic after batting .414 for the series. Clemente signed his autograph in bright blue-ink across the sweet spot of this white, ONL (Warren Giles) baseball. This is easily among the most aesthetically appealing and highest grading Clemente singles we have ever offered. His flowing script is unusually large and beautiful; its contrast against the white leather helps the writing “jump” off the ball, making it readable from across a room! Clemente remains one of baseball’s most magical names. The demand for his autograph continues to outpace the limited supply and single-signed balls of this quality are almost non-existent. Here is a beauty and a great, investment-grade item from this MLB icon!
