11 is the only number retired at the #LLWS
Each year No. 11’s make it to Williamsport, learn the story of firefighter Michael Cammarata who was last seen entering the World Trade Center on September 11, and appreciate the reason they’ll make new memories in a new number. pic.twitter.com/M5R6hVtH2N

Azalea Park Little League Brings Community Together with Mural Honoring Roberto Clemente
(Published on September 13, 2024 on LittleLeague.org)
A native of Puerto Rico, Roberto Clemente spent 18 seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates where he was named a 15-time All-Star and earned two World Series championship titles. More than just an outstanding baseball player, who would go on to become the first player from the Caribbean and Latin America to be named to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Mr. Clemente was also heavily focused on supporting communities in need.
Unfortunately, in December 1972, Roberto Clemente tragically died in a plane crash while taking emergency relief goods to earthquake survivors in Nicaragua, but today his inspiring story can be felt in communities all around the world – including Azalea Park Little League in Orlando, Florida.
In 2014, a mural honoring Clemente was vandalized at the local league’s park, devastating the Little Leaguers® and their community. However, the loss of the mural did not last for long and the meaning behind it stood stronger than ever before.
