When I think of Roberto, I don't think of his role as a hispanic baseball player. I think of the guy who DIED trying to help his countrymen after a disaster.
That enough is reason to honor him. We don't need to pander to particular racial groups.
Good!
Clemente was a much better ball player than Jackie Robinson ever was, but there is NO reason to do this. Jackie ran into much more hate than Roberto did.
Start a "Most Graceful Ballplayer" deal for Roberto ......... then it would be completely correct!
