Obligatory January 19, 1971 letter from Rawlings congratulating Roberto on winning his 10th Gold Glove award. Reads in part, "To be selected to receive the Gold Glove once in a player's career is an honor. To be selected more than once is a true tribute to the player's talent and dedication to the game." Signed by Rawlings president W.P. "Monk" Abbott. Comes with a snapshot taken by Phil Dorsey of Clemente's overburdened trophy case in Puerto Rico, clearly visible on which are 3 Gold Gloves, several of his 4 NL batting championship trophies and a folded Pirates home jersey. Letter and photo NRMT.
