This type of stuff really impresses me...these guys are already so busy during the season and yet they take the time to really become involved in the community.
Quote:
Ibanez's community involvement has earned him the Mariners' nomination for the Roberto Clemente Award for the second straight year.
The award recognizes the player who best exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual's contribution to his team. It is named in honor of the former Pirates outfielder whose spirit and goodwill will always be remembered. Clemente died in a plane crash while attempting to transport relief supplies to earthquake-stricken Nicaragua on Dec. 31, 1972. The winner will be announced during the World Series.
