Roberto Clemente Digital Bobbleheads Arrive for Clemente Day

Two collectibles, available September 15 through September 29 at day.21inright.com, mark Roberto Clemente Day and the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month.

Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) and 21 In Right Inc. have launched a Roberto Clemente digital collectible activation, timed to two observances that share a date. Roberto Clemente Day falls on September 15, and so does the first day of National Hispanic Heritage Month. Beginning on Roberto Clemente Day and running through September 29, 2026, fans can purchase two versions of a Roberto Clemente digital bobblehead at day.21inright.com.

The activation offers Universal and Signature editions of the bobblehead. Both are offered by 21 In Right, the Clemente family entity that owns and manages the Baseball Hall of Famer's name, image, and likeness.

What is on sale

The collectibles come out of the partnership the two companies announced on June 26, 2026. Under that agreement, 21 In Right uses Datavault AI platforms, including Data Vault®, DataValue®, DataScore®, and the Information Data Exchange® (IDE®), to manage, value, and protect Roberto Clemente’s name, image, and likeness, to preserve his legacy through digital Twins and digital archives, and to develop new ways for fans and communities to engage with that legacy.

Additional information about the collectibles is available at day.21inright.com.

Why September 15

Major League Baseball observes Roberto Clemente Day each year on September 15 in honor of the Hall of Famer and 15-time All-Star. Clemente died on December 31, 1972, when a plane carrying him and relief supplies bound for earthquake survivors in Nicaragua crashed off the coast of Puerto Rico. Each year on Roberto Clemente Day, Major League Baseball announces the club nominees for the Roberto Clemente Award, which honors a player for community service and sportsmanship alongside on-field excellence.

The same date opens National Hispanic Heritage Month, which the United States observes from September 15 through October 15 in recognition of the heritage and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans.

The career behind the collectible

According to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Clemente played 18 seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1955 to 1972. He won four National League batting titles, the 1966 National League Most Valuable Player Award, and 12 consecutive Gold Glove Awards. He was named Most Valuable Player of the 1971 World Series. He finished his career with exactly 3,000 hits and a .317 batting average, and he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1973 in a special election that waived the customary five-year waiting period.

On September 14, 2026, Roberto Clemente Jr. appeared on MLB Network to discuss the 2026 Roberto Clemente Award nominees and his father’s career.

“Roberto Clemente set the standard for greatness on the field and service off it, and his family has protected that standard for more than five decades,” said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. “This activation puts his name, image, and likeness to work on the family’s terms, with every collectible authorized by 21 In Right and delivered through Datavault AI technology. That is what this means for athletes: whether your children carry your story forward or you are signing your first sponsorship, you should own, protect, and be paid for who you are.”

“Roberto Clemente Day and Hispanic Heritage Month begin on the same date, and that is fitting, because my father’s story belongs to every family that was ever told it did not belong,” said Roberto Clemente Jr. “These collectibles let fans carry a piece of that story with them, and they let our family share his legacy in a way we control and trust. Every athlete deserves that kind of ownership over their own name.”

The Larger Vision

The activation advances the Roberto Clemente initiative on Datavault AI’s NILvault™ (NILv), the Company’s initiative for officially licensed professional sports and legacy athlete programs, which Datavault AI described in its July 27, 2026, announcement alongside the Josh Gibson and Yogi Berra initiatives.

The same infrastructure that allows the Clemente family to authorize a collectible, verify what is licensed, and capture the value it creates is designed to let any athlete or estate treat name, image, and likeness rights as a managed, protected, and monetizable data asset. Datavault AI’s planned NIL Exchange is intended to extend that model to high school and college athletes, where permitted by applicable rules and law, giving participating athletes a way to receive and manage sponsorship earnings.
