Roberto Clemente Day fell on Sept. 15. Tributes showed up across MLB. The Pirates took on the Brewers. They handed out Clemente bobbleheads. Players sported No. 21 patches. Rico Garcia of Baltimore wore Clemente's number. He called it a special opportunity.
On Tuesday, teams named their Roberto Clemente Award nominees. The Rangers selected Jake Burger. The Angels went with Zach Neto. The Orioles went with Cedric Mullins. Mullins earned the nod because he cares about helping others. ESPN said that MLB has a Puerto Rico problem.
