PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates have reversed course after angering the family of the late Roberto Clemente by removing a sign honoring the franchise icon on the right-field wall at PNC Park. The sign featured Clemente’s name and his No. 21. Replacing it was an advertisement for Surfside, an alcoholic drink. However, the Clemente sign will be restored before Monday night’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to Pirates president Travis Williams.
