Roberto Clemente's legacy transcends baseball. The 15-time All-Star and 1966 NL MVP finished his career with exactly 3.000 hits and a .317 batting average before his tragic death in a humanitarian mission on December 31. 1972. The Pirates retired his number 21. and MLB named its annual community service award after him. This Nike road gray replica honors the jersey Clemente made famous at Forbes Field and Three Rivers Stadium.
Nike's replica construction uses 100% polyester with heat-sealed transfer applique for clean. durable graphics. The full-button front. short sleeves. and rounded hem with droptail mirror the authentic on-field silhouette. The MLB Batterman applique on the center back neck and heat-sealed jock tag confirm licensing.
