2021 Roberto Clemente Award
You can read about each of the nominees via the link above. This year, Alex Bregman is the Astros' nominee. I've always admired and respected Sal Perez for how he invested his time and money back into the KC community, even during the lean years like 2016 where he was earning a (relatively) tiny salary of $2MM. And Miggy is on the ballot.
I'm not sure who I'll vote for or if it really matters who wins. Reading about all these players who've chosen to give back shows me we ALL win.
The Roberto Clemente Award is bestowed annually to the player who best represents the game of Baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field.
Every year, each MLB Club nominates a player to be considered for the Award in tribute to Clemente's achievements and character. This year's list of nominees features players whose various community and philanthropic activities have focused on important issues ranging from awareness & fundraising to support those with cancer and other illnesses or special needs, education for young people, natural disaster relief, outreach to underserved children & communities in the United States and abroad, and more.
