Why were the players and managers wearing those yellow wristbands in the 2006 MLB All-Star Game?
NEGREYJR asked:
The players and managers on both sides were wearing yellow wristbands with some initials (I think it was RCW) on them. Why were they wearing them and what did the initials mean?

To honor Roberto Clemente
did they have initials on them.. if so i have no idea.. but usually the yellow ones are from biker lance armstrong.. his armbands he sells say live strong and the money is donated to charity for cancers i think?
Yellow and black for the Pittsburgh Pirates Roberto Clemente. He was commemorated during the game in the 5th
The initials are on the wristbands for his initials
TO HONOR ROBERTO CLEMENTE
RCW ROBERTO CLEMENTE WEEK
The armbands honored Roberto Clemente, as already stated, and the colors were for his team, the Pittsburgh Pirates. But why RCW? Because in Spanish fashion, his name is actually Roberto Clemente Walker; the mother’s family name follows that of the father. His family recently requested the change, and his plaque in Cooperstown now reads that way also.
