Item Description

Enjoy a truly unique evening with a private tour and The Clemente Museum and a tasting in the Engine House 25 Winery.

Winner will receive an 8-person tour and tasting.

Engine House 25 has been meticulously renovated to showcase the world’s largest exhibited collection of baseball artifacts, works of art, literature, photographs, memorabilia, and related materials which focus on Roberto Clemente, his teammates, his personal life, and his humanitarian causes.

Roberto Clemente was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1954 and rose to become the greatest baseball player of his time. During this period, the 
struggle for social justice had reached every part of our country, and every 
ballpark. He and many other athletes had to bear the burdens of racial and 
cultural prejudices, no matter what their abilities were on the field. He faced 
those burdens with dignity, pride and an empathy for those less fortunate. As for his critics, he silenced them with his amazing bat and miraculous 
arm. In his 18-year career, he received every possible award given in Major 
League Baseball. Off the field, he built a reputation as a humanitarian, with a passion to help children through sports. Today he is as well known for his passion 
for helping others as he is for his passion for baseball.
