Roberto Clemente Day celebrates the 15-time All-Star, 2-time World Series Champion, and Hall of Famer Roberto “Arriba” Clemente. While Clemente’s on-field performance earned him a place in baseball history, it was his altruism outside of the game that was a true testament to the impact that players can have off of the field.
MLB The Show 23 celebrates the life and legacy of Roberto Clemente in the Roberto Clemente Day Program available today in Other Programs.
Play Moments featuring some of the most historic performances of Roberto Clemente, along with recipients of the Roberto Clemente Award and a crop of current Puerto Rican players to start your progress in the Program and add Captain Series Francisco Lindor (95 OVR) and Jose Berrios (95 OVR) to your lineup.
