League: Puerto Rican League

History: For the 1954-1955 winter league season in Puerto Rico, the Cangrejeros boasted one of the greatest outfields in baseball history. In right was a 20-year-old Roberto Clemente, soon to make his debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates. In center was reigning National League MVP Willie Mays, who won the Puerto Rican MVP award. And in left was Puerto Rican star Luis Olmo. Nicknamed the "Panic Squad", the team won both the Puerto Rican League and Caribbean Series titles.

On September 30, 1972 Roberto Clemente became just the 11th player to record 3,000 hits when he hit a double against the New York Mets in what proved to be his final regular season at-bat. He made one more regular season appearance, his 2,433rd as a Pirate, on October 3 to tie Honus Wagner’s record for most games played for the team. Clemente passed away tragically on December 31 of that year. Attempting to provide aid and relief following a massive earthquake in Nicaragua, Clemente was in a plane that crashed just off the coast of Isla Verde, Puerto Rico. Following his sudden death, Clemente was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame through a special election on March 20, 1973. His famous number, 21, was retired by the Pirates that same year.
