Roberto Clemente Postage Stamp

Continuing with the American Sports Series, the U.S. Postal Service issued a .20¢ commemorative stamp honoring baseball great Roberto Clemente on August 17, 1984, in his birthplace, Carolina, Puerto Rico. It was the fifth stamp in the American Sports Series which begun in 1981, with stamps honoring golfer Bobby Jones, all-around athlete Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Babe Ruth, and Jim Thorpe, which was released earlier in 1984.

The Roberto Clement stamp design was done by Juan Lopez-Bonilla, a native of Puerto Rico. The stamp features a likeness of Clemente in profile against the flag of Puerto Rico. "Roberto Clemente" appears in two lines of black type at the top of the stamp and "USA 2o¢" is printed in a single line of black type at the bottom left.

In 1989 The united States Postal Service issued a Legends Baseball scrapbook and stamp album that contained four previously issued baseball postage stamps, and baseball cards, that pictured the stamp on the front and stats on the back. The baseball cards included this Jackie Robinson stamp, Babe Ruth, Roberto Clemente, and Lou Gehrig.
