Pittsburgh Pirates' President Travis Williams said PNC Park will be adding Roberto Clemenete's logo back after multiple social media posts showed the logo was replaced Saturday evening. In a statement Sunday, Williams said Clemente's No. 21 logo will be added back to the pad located in right field after Roberto Clemente's son released a statement regarding the park's decision to remove the logo that had been there since 2022.

"When we added the advertisement to the pad, it was an oversight not to keep the No. 21 logo. This is ultimately on me, not anyone else in the organization. It was an honest mistake." Williams continued, saying, in part: "We have used this area for advertisements for many years. When we didn't have a sponsor coming out of COVID, we added an additional element in 2022 to honor the legacy of Roberto. It was a replica of the Three Rivers signage honoring him.""This is in addition to the many elements throughout the ballpark that honor his legacy, including the fact that the wall is named the Roberto Clemente Wall, is 21 feet tall and has two No. 21s on it.""We want to make sure that the Clemente family understands that we intended no disrespect to their father. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Clemente family and apologize to them and our fans for our honest mistake.""We will be adding the No. 21 logo back to the pad."The response comes hours after Roberto Clemente Jr. commented on a post that showed his father's logo replaced with what appeared to be a Surfside Iced Tea Vodka advertisement. "WOW...," Clemente Jr. posted in response to the photos.Multiple comments have since expressed anger toward the organization, as many continue to call for the team's owner to sell the Pirates. The Pirates previously issued an apology, saying: "Each and every day, we proudly honor and celebrate Roberto Clemente, the person, the player, and the humanitarian in and around our ballpark, as well as through our charitable endeavors."
