Roberto Clemente made his mark during his brief life, which was tragically cut short in a plane crash while on an errand of mercy in 1972. This size 11 Josten's ring is marked as #24 of part of a limited edition of 200, though only 50 were ever actually produced. It is 10k gold with real diamonds adoring his number "21" atop a black stone, surrounded by his name and "1955" and "1972." The right shank also bears his name along with "1966 MVP" and "12 Gold Gloves." The left notes "1961, 1964, 1965, 1967 Batting Titles," above which sits ".317 BA," his career average. This ring is a typically classy tribute to the Hall of Famer, befitting the grace and style with which he played the game. 37.4g.
