For the last three seasons, a corner of the right field wall at PNC Park featured a tribute to Pittsburgh Pirates icon Roberto Clemente.
On Saturday, fans noticed the decal adorning the position Clemente once patrolled was no longer there. Instead it had been replaced with an advertisement for Surfside canned cocktails. Considering how much Clemente means to the Pirates, baseball and humanitarian efforts, the ad received immediate backlash — including, most notably, from Roberto Clemente Jr.
The criticism on message boards and social media called out the organization for being too cheap to keep that part of the wall ad-free, while the team had a much different take on the situation.
