Best Answer

Roberto Clemente was not drafted (the MLB draft began in 1965) but instead was signed as a free agent by the Brooklyn Dodgers prior to the 1952 season.

He subsequently went to the Pirates as a Rule 5 draftee after the 1954 season.

Who is the first hispanic player voted into baseballs hall of fame?

That would be Roberto Clemente, elected in 1973 soon after his tragic death. (The 5-year waiting period was waived.) The first Hispanic player elected not on a special consideration would be Al Lopez, a catcher as a player but elected primarily for his achievements as a manager. Lopez joined the HOF in 1977, which would have been before Clemente would normally have been eligible, perhaps even before Clemente would have retired. The first Hispanic player other than Clemente elected strictly for his performance on the field was Juan Marichal, a native of the Dominican Republic and the pitcher who won the most games during the 1960s (191). Marichal was elected to the HOF in 1983.

What is the value of a multiple signed Roberto clemente baseball?

Roberto Clemente Multi-signed baseballA Roberto Clemente single signed baseball is worth between $5,000.-$8,000. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. Add for inscriptions.A value cannot be given for a Roberto Clemente Multi-signed baseball without knowing the other players that signed the baseball but it would most likely lower the value. The value of multi signed baseballs cannot be priced by the value of each signature added up. Multi signed baseballs are valued as a group of signatures, and how desired that group is as a whole. This does not necessarily mean that two signatures will sell for less than one, but in most cases it does, or at least not the full value of the two signatures added up.
