For the fifth time in his nine seasons with the Dodgers, third baseman Justin Turner is the team’s nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award, the annual recognition of a Major League player who best represents the game of baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field.
A fan vote is part of the process for choosing the league-wide winner of the award, and fans can vote starting today at MLB.com.
Turner and his wife, Kourtney, have been active in the community through their Justin Turner Foundation, helping veterans, those in foster care, and children battling illnesses, among other worthy causes.
