MLB honored R-oberto C-lemente W-alker last night. The wrist bands and the Home Run Derby uni's were black and yellow to honor the Pirates, the host of last nights shindig.
Back to the wristbands, the Walker comes from hismother's maiden name which in the Latin cultures is part of your name. His HOF plaque hasRoberto Clemente Walker engraved on it.

The "RCW" wristbands were a tribute to the late great "Roberto Clemente Walker"..The Pirate Rightfielder from 1955-1972, who died in a plane crash...

First of all it was RCW and secondly I'm pretty sure it had something to do with Roberto Clemente. Don't know what the W stood for though.
