PITCH IN: How Oklahoma native Andrew Heaney hopes Clemente Award nomination will encourage others to give back

Andrew Heaney has no idea how the process for Major League Baseball's Roberto Clemente Award works. Not the voting. Not the selection. Not the announcement.

But here's how the Oklahoma native and Clemente nominee wants it to work — he hopes you are moved to serve.

Yes, serve.

As baseball rises to its October crescendo, the sport will soon pause on the field to recognize work off the field. The Clemente Award will be given during the World Series to a big-league ballplayer who has great character, who is involved in the community, who makes positive contributions all around.
