I am looking to obtain Robeto Clemente items with the "Momen" Clemente name. I have the 1960 H&B Black World Series bat that has all the players names and lists Roberto Clemente as Momen. So the items I am looking for are:
1-Any Autographs (photos, contracts or card/letters)
2-H&B Mini Bat
3-H&B Players model bat
Thanks in advance for any help you cna give.

Mike,
Do you have any Clemente bats for sale? Are you interested in selling a Momen to me? I am posting my want list in the WANTED area. If you have any of those Buccos for sale, let me know.
Thanks,
Marty

Would someone mind filling me in on this? I've never heard of this reference in regards to Clemente. What does it mean?
Thanks.

Paul, when Roberto Clemente first came into the league his bats had the facsimile signature of Momen Clemente not Roberto Clemente. He changed his bats to Roberto Clemente in 1960 or 1961. Momen was a nickname that he had as a child. His early bats 1955-60 have Momen Clemente as does the 1960 Black World Series that H&B made.

Though they are very rare, Momen Clemente player bats, mini bats and photos and contracts exist that have Momen as opposed to Roberto on them but they are from early in his career.

Here's an example of the Momen Clemente barrel stamping on his 1955-60 game used bats.
