Justin Turner was voted by his Los Angeles Dodgers teammates and all uniformed personnel as the winner of the 12th annual Roy Campanella Award. It’s presented to the Dodgers player who best exemplifies the spirit and leadership of the late Hall of Fame catcher.
Turner will be presented with the award by Campanella’s daughter, Joni Campanella Roan, and his grandson, Cary Bell, during pregame ceremonies Tuesday night. Turner has actively worked in the Los Angeles community since joining the Dodgers organization on a Minor League contract in 2014.
Turner played his way into an everyday role for the Dodgers at third base, and this season was named to his first career All-Star Game.
