I didn't understand the main point of contention to be because he was the first latin player. So therefore the first amputee, gay guy etc would be meaningless.
I say retire it due to his being a HOF player and one of a kind humanitarin. Its got nothing to do with being any kind of groundbreaking Latin player.
When another guy comes along in a generation or two who can be a legit HOF player AND contribute off the field the way Clemente did then I'd consider him as well. Untill then Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente are a pretty exclusive club.
