The MLB gives out one of the most prestigious awards that a ball player can win. An award based on one of the most impactful and inspiring players who ever dawned an MLB uniform, Roberto Clemente. The Roberto Clemente Award goes 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", according to MLB.
Aaron Judge has made quite the name for himself on the field. An MVP, captain of the Yankees, the AL home run king, and many more accomplishments. He has been one of the most impactful stars off the field as well. In 2018, Aaron and his family created the All Rise Foundation. A foundation dedicated for kids to become responsible citizens. His foundation has worked tirelessly to support children of all ages with difficult health issues.
Aaron Judge has always played the game "the right way". His play has symbolized integrity and respect to the players who have come before and after him. This award deserves to go to a player who instills those same principles that they play with on the field, to off the field. That's exactly what Aaron has done. The reason why he is this year's Roberto Clemente Award winner.
