The Pirates paid homage to their fallen warrior a year after his death by playing two exhibition games against the Expos on March 18-19, 1974 in San Juan's Hiram Bithorn Stadium, where Clemente starred decades before in the Puerto Rican league. This rare program "dedicated to Roberto Walker Clemente", as it says on page 3, has a moving photo of him on the cover in his Buc uniform against a plain white backdrop broken only red and black cover lines. Inside are 2 photos of him, an image of his HOF plaque, and the word "Clemente!" above a text block with a facial image. Unscored, unmarked program is EX+.
