## Resource

Riley Greene briefly switched his jersey number from 31 to 21 during a Detroit Tigers game on Roberto Clemente Day — not a glitch, but a heartfelt tribute. As a player with Puerto Rican heritage, Greene honored the legendary Hall of Famer who wore 21 and died saving lives in a shipwreck. MLB celebrates Clemente’s legacy each year on this day, and Greene’s temporary switch was a meaningful nod to his roots and the humanitarian icon he represents. After one game, he returned to his usual number — a small moment with big meaning. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
