The Roberto Clemente League was in existence from 1993 to 2012. The league served as a catalyst for youth growing up in Cleveland with the love for baseball and for families to find like-minded people to help comfort the migration to a new home. After the years the league closed its doors serving anywhere from 200- 250 kids per season. We are all little league champs that were once a part of the then-existing Roberto Clemente League. Now adults with many different backgrounds, skills, and professions we are all honored to pour love into other youth that might need other positive adults in their life. 

We have gathered to honor Roberto Clemente by updating and revitalizing the Roberto Clemente park in the Clark/ Fulton community that has been abandoned by the community and the City. Together we have gathered, planned, and fundraise the upgrade of the park with new benches, painting, and planning activities to bring awareness to the park.

With the new uplift that the park received we are looking forward to restarting the league for 288 youth in the community. Our plan is to engage with the families to build a quality baseball league that can help built togetherness, a safe space and the love for baseball again. The teams will be names after Roberto Clemente teams that he got to play in, we will be needing new and used equipment. The ages of the players will be from 5–16-year-olds. We hope that this will bring more recognition to the park, honor Roberto Clemente and help us fund more projects around the park like lighting, turf and a score board. We are also looking forward toad to having game days at the same day as a Framers Market at the park to create a family experience and create a space for circular economy to also happen.
