New York Yankees superstar and captain, Aaron Judge has won the 2023 Roberto Clemente Award.
The award annually recognizes a Major League player who best represents baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, on and off the field.
"Just being a nominee is an incredible honor that a lot of players look forward to. Now getting a chance to be a Roberto Clemente Award winner, it's tough to describe. The legacy(Clemente) left -- we can sit here and talk about the stats, what he did on the field. He was a generational talent on the field, but he was a generational ambassador for this game off the field." Judge said.
"He took pride in not only what he did offensively, but he took more pride in what he did defensively," Judge continued. "He set the standard for what it was to be a complete player."
