Induction Weekend at the Baseball Hall of Fame is always an emotional occasion. But at the 1973 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony emotions overflowed during the celebration of six legends – including one whose passing shocked the world. On Aug. 6 1973 Roberto Clemente Billy Evans Monte Irvin George Kelly Warren Spahn and Mickey Welch were enshrined in Cooperstown. For fans of Clemente it was a moment that came years before it seemed it would. Clemente died on Dec. 31 1972 in a plane crash while delivering earthquake relief supplies to Nicaragua. He was nearing the end of his storied playing career but was not yet ready for retirement.
