no no no, do not retire 21....I agree that clemente was one of the greatest players of all time, but his accomplishments were for the Pittsburgh Pirates, not any other club, so leave the 21 on other teams

No no no... we are for retiring Roberto Clemente's number from MLB because he, unlike any other player in the history of baseball gave his life in a humanitaristic manner. He died serving the victims in Nicaragua... if you can name any other player in MLB history that has demonstrated such demeanor then feel free to make that comment... but until then the movement will continue.

Retire his #21 and make a movie about this great man's life am sure it will be a blockbuster of a movie that will keep inspiring those who never saw him play.

If number 21 is not retired, it's because Roberto Clemente's memory and legacy will live forever!
