Major League Baseball announced on Tuesday the finalists for the 2018 Hank Aaron Award, which has recognized the most outstanding offensive performer in each League since it was established in 1999. For the ninth year in a row, Baseball fans have a say in the winners of this prestigious award. Fans can vote for their American and National League selections online at MLB.com and the 30 Club sites starting today and running through Oct. 8.

Also for the ninth consecutive year, a special panel of Hall of Fame players, led by Hank Aaron himself, will also vote on the winners of the award, which is officially sanctioned by Major League Baseball.
