PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association announced the team winners for their Heart and Hustle Awards on Tuesday. Chase Utley took home the honor on behalf of the Phillies for the sixth time.
The Heart and Hustle Award honors players that demonstrate a passion for the game of baseball and embody the values, spirit and tradition of the game. The award is voted on by former players and is the only award decided using that method in the game.
Committees with ties to all 30 clubs are formed to determine what players best fit the criteria and demonstrate the values both on and off the field.
