PITTSBURGH — (WPXI)-A Roberto Clemente logo at PNC Park was seemingly replaced with an advertisement. A post shared by Roberto Clemente Jr. shows the spot where his father’s logo was previously located now holds an advertisement for a beverage. The change created some backlash from fans on social media. “Promoting a seltzer nobody’s ever heard of over the best player in your franchise’s history is a tough sell. Pretty easy to see how that can be seen as classless,” one response said. Channel 11 reached out to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a response. “The 21-foot-high wall that officially bears Roberto Clemente’s name continues to, and will forever, display his No. 21 in two separate locations. The temporary wall sign in question was put in place prior to the 2022 season and was never meant to be a permanent tribute, simply another cap tip to “The Great One.” We apologize that we didn’t directly communicate that fact to the Clemente family and our fans,” Pittsburgh Pirates Senior Vice President of Communications and Broadcasting Brian Warecki said in a statement. The Pittsburgh Pirates also emphasized that Clemente is beloved and important to the organization. “Roberto Clemente is more than a Hall-of-Fame player to us. His legacy helps define who we are as an organization. One would be hard-pressed to find a franchise that pays tribute to one of their historically great players more than the Pittsburgh Pirates do of Roberto Clemente, and rightfully so. Each and every day, we proudly honor and celebrate Roberto Clemente, the person, the player, and the humanitarian in and around our ballpark, as well as through our charitable endeavors,” Warecki said.
