Roberto Clemente Day

During Hispanic Heritage month, Major League Baseball annually pays tribute to the baseball legend, Roberto Clemente. To preserve his memory and encourage his dedication to community efforts, The Roberto Clemente Award, is given annually to the Major League Baseball player who best combines outstanding skills on the baseball field with devoted work in the community. This respected award recognizes those players who best exemplify the game of baseball through sportsmanship, community involvement and positive contributions to their teams. In 2007, Curtis Granderson was nominated to represent the Detroit Tigers. As the Tigers’ nominee, Granderson received a donation of $7,500 from Chevrolet to benefit his charity, Grand Kids Foundation.
