"Obviously, there are a lot of players who do charitable initiatives geared toward veterans," Lucroy said. "So to be selected from among that group is a tremendous honor itself."

Lucroy will travel to Washington with his wife, Sarah, to accept the award, which is named for the Hall of Fame pitcher and World War II veteran. It will be one of Lucroy's two trips to the nation's capital this winter; he also plans to travel with military veterans in November on a Stars and Stripes Honor Flight for the second straight year.
