Roberto Clemente Award Finalists Announced

September 15 marks Roberto Clemente Day in Major League Baseball, celebrating the legacy of the late Hall of Famer known for his humanitarian efforts. Players Brent Suter of the Cincinnati Reds, Patrick Wisdom of the Chicago Cubs, and Josiah Gray of the Washington Nationals are among this year's nominees for the Roberto Clemente Award, recognizing players for their community involvement and philanthropy. Suter engages with youth through the Reds Youth Academy and food rescue initiatives, while Wisdom honors young cancer patient Braxton Fuqua by supporting St. Jude's through various fundraising efforts. Gray, facing a season-ending injury, remains active in the community through initiatives like 'Strike Out Breast Cancer' and mentoring young athletes. Each nominee exemplifies extraordinary character and positive contributions both on and off the field, reflecting the spirit of Clemente's legacy. The award winner will be announced during the World Series in October.
