Description: Stunning Roberto Clemente single signed baseball. Wilson "Circuito Superior, Baseball Aficionado de Puerto Rico" baseball has been signed across the sweet spot "Roberto Clemente" with added Spanish language salutation translating "With love" or "With kindness". The bold blue ink signature rates 9 out of 10 offering brilliant contrast. Ball itself exhibits a pleasing light even tone with factory fresh manufacturers stampings. The ball is dated in another hand,"12/25/72" just a few days before his tragic passing in a plane trash. A handwritten letter from the original recipient relays that he obtained the ball on Christmas Day, 1972 while bringing food to aid the Nicaraguan earthquake relief efforts. An extremely strong and visually pleasing example which is without question one of the better surviving Clemente single signature baseballs.
