Clement! The legacy of inspiring Trevino on diamonds, in the community
NEW YORK – Jose Trevino’s high school uniform number preference is No. 2, in order to show Derek Derek Jeter paid tribute to the influence of the Yankees during the dynasty era. As he prepared for his junior season, the future major league receiver heard a different name, one that made him rush to the library: Roberto Clemente.
First let Trevino know about Clement and his heritage. As Trevino recalled, Castillo suggested that Trevino change his uniform number to No. 000,he made it.
” He said, ‘The way you play and go Way about your business at school; you remind me of Roberto Clemente, the way he used to be,'” Trevino said.
The conversation is still relevant for Trevino, who has been named a Clement Award nominee for the second year in a row. The Clement Award is presented annually to the player who best represents the game of baseball on and off the field through exceptional character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions.
