Whether it is advocating for survivors of domestic violence, feeding hungry families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, or working to provide clean water, medical aid and educational opportunities to children in Africa, Mariners infielder Dee Strange-Gordon has earned the honor of being the Seattle Mariners nominee for the annual Roberto Clemente Award.
The Clemente Award is the annual recognition of a player from each MLB club who best represents the values of the late Roberto Clemente through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field. Team nominees will be recognized on Wednesday, September 9, the 19th Annual Roberto Clemente Day, and the league-wide winner will be announced during the postseason.
