Brandon Lowe Honored for Clemente Day | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Today, the Pittsburgh Pirates honor Roberto Clemente’s enduring legacy on Clemente Day, celebrating his humanitarian spirit and baseball greatness. This year, second baseman Brandon Lowe — previously nominated by the Rays in 2022 — is once again being recognized for the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award. Since launching “Home Runs for Hope” in 2019, Lowe has donated $100 per home run to mental health initiatives, raising $2,900 this season alone. The Pirates are rallying around community service, hosting veteran food drives and youth programs, with all players donning Clemente’s iconic number 21. Remembered for his tragic death while delivering aid to Nicaragua, Clemente’s impact lives on through Lowe’s continued giving and MLB’s annual tribute.
