H.R. 10121 is a bill that aims to honor Roberto Clemente, a renowned humanitarian and star athlete from Puerto Rico, by obtaining and directing the placement of a statue in the Capitol or on the Capitol Grounds.

Media coverage has largely praised the bill as a significant recognition of Roberto Clemente's legacy, highlighting his impact on baseball and his philanthropic work. Many see the statue as a long-overdue tribute that honors not only his athletic achievements but also his commitment to social justice and humanitarian causes.
Some critics have raised concerns about the appropriateness of placing a statue in the Capitol, arguing that it may divert attention from pressing legislative issues.
