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 Pittsburgh Pirates have reversed course after angering the family of the late Roberto Clemente by removing a sign honoring the franchise icon on the right-field wall at PNC Park.

After some voiced displeasure from fans and Roberto Clemente Jr., the Pirates announced Sunday that they are adding the No. 21 logo back to the pad on PNC Park’s right-field wall, where it had been displayed the past three seasons.
