The Bucs announced Sunday they would return the No. 21 logo honoring Roberto Clemente back to the right field wall after fans and the Clemente family voice displeasure that it had been replaced with an advertisement this season. Word of the sign's removal had drawn national attention.
The Pittsburgh Pirates generated friction with fans during the team’s home opener as they were quick to point out that a tribute to Roberto Clemente was removed from the right-field wall.
