Award Delay

They've stopped the game to give a life time achievement award to Roberto Clemente. Jason Bay singled to make the home town fans happy in the bottom of the fourth. I don't quite understand why they are doing this now. Shouldn't they wait for the fifth inning so the game's official?

Roberto's wife is accepting the award, escorted by Bill Mazeroski. The award is for his humanitarian work, which he died performing.

Update: It's the Historic Achievement Award.

It strike anyone else as a cheap, obvious PR ploy by MLB? I mean, the Commissioner's Achievement Award? Selig's handing awards out for achievement? The irony.
