The Pittsburgh Pirates have reversed course on a decision to remove from PNC Park a placard honoring the late Hall of Famer and franchise legend Roberto Clemente in order to make room for advertising space. The Pirates' response comes after Clemente's son, Roberto Clemente Jr., criticized the club for the decision.

The team’s president apologized after a logo honoring the Pittsburgh great on a section of the right field wall was replaced with an ad for an alcoholic beverage.

The Pirates apologized to Roberto Clemente's family, saying it was an "honest mistake" an alcoholic beverage ad was put in place of Clemente tribute.
