Ceremonies

The award was created in 1971 as the Commissioner's Award, and in 1973, was renamed in honor of Roberto Clemente - the Hall of Famer, 15-time All-Star and great humanitarian who died on December 31, 1972, during a mission to assist earthquake victims in Nicaragua. New this year, the league-wide SEAT 21 initiative honors a local community member who embodies Clemente's humanitarian spirit. Smola will enjoy the game with guests from the designated SEAT 21 at U.S. Cellular Field.
