It was in these efforts, while delivering aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua, Clemente perished when his plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff.

MLB The Show is honored to celebrate the life and legacy of Roberto Clemente. Add Awards Series Roberto Clemente (99 OVR) to your Diamond Dynasty squad by playing the Roberto Clemente Day Program only available in MLB The Show 25.
