Roberto Clemente’s No. 21 May Be Retired From Play

Hispanic baseball pioneer Roberto Clemente’s uniform number 21 will be retired from use by all 30 teams in Major League Baseball if the New York City Council has its way.

The council will debate a resolution today calling on the commissioner of baseball, Allan “Bud” Selig, to permanently set aside Clemente’s number in honor of the player’s achievements on and off the field.”*
