“Contrato del Jugador” of famed Golden Glove outfielder and Pittsburgh Pirate Roberto Clemente for his 1964-65 Winter League season with the San Juan Senadores of Puerto Rico. A great philanthropist and devoted son to his homeland, he continued playing ball in and for Puerto Rico - it was, for many, the only opportunity to see their fabled All-Star play. This four page contract ($1,000 a month for Clemente) is all in Spanish and canary-colored, with four punch-holes on top, and is in EX condition, with some speckled staining on back. Signature is 8/10.
