Clemente was the first Latin American to ever be inducted into Cooperstown, just months after his tragic passing. He played his entire 18-year career with the Pittsburgh Pirates and chose the No. 21 for each of the letters in his full name, Roberto Clemente Walker. Finishing his career with a .317 average, 3,000 hits, 4 NL batting titles, 15x All-Star selections, 2 World Series titles (1960 and 1971), Clemente also had a legendary arm, winning 12 Gold Glove Awards.
