Pennsylvania House asks MLB to retire Clemente’s No. 21
Tagged: Baseball, brooklyn, PennsylvaniaPosted on: October 17th, 2007“The Pennsylvania House of Representatives urged Major League Baseball to retire Roberto Clemente’s No. 21 in a resolution passed Tuesday.
The lawmakers are the latest group to contend that Clemente should be honored in the same way that Jackie Robinson was for breaking Major League Baseball’s color barrier in 1947.
Robinson’s No. 42 was retired for all teams on April 15, 1997, the 50th anniversary of his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers.”*
