The sports momentum continues into Hispanic Heritage Month with A Paley Tribute to Roberto Clemente: The Legend of #21. The Paley Center for Media worked with Major League Baseball, the Roberto Clemente Foundation, and expert collector Paul Kutch, to bring together personal and cultural artifacts that help tell the story of the charismatic Roberto Clemente, one of the best right fielders who ever lived. Fifty years ago, Clemente was the first Latin American baseball player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Paley exhibit opens on September 15, the same day that the MLB celebrates Clemente’s life and legacy with Roberto Clemente Day.
