A cultural icon and the longtime de facto leader of the Pittsburgh Pirates, leading the Bucs to a pair of Fall Classic championships, Roberto Clemente sadly passed in a plane crash while on a humanitarian mission to Nicaragua during the final day of 1972. Poetically, the 15 time all-star earned his 3000th hit during the 1972 season, cementing his legend. A highly sought signature, we have an example in an especially pleasing form with an autographed photo with personalization. A team-issued black and white 8" x 10" image, the 1966 NL MVP has added a large and flowing black marker signature, proceeded by "To Gary, with all the best wishes, from your friend". The photo itself exhibits light surface wear with toning along the edges and just a few small surface wrinkles/creases. A JSA LOA will accompany.
