Marco Gonzales was recently nominated for the Seattle Mariners’ Roberto Clemente Award, and he couldn’t be more proud. The award, which is given annually to a player who best represents the game of baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field, is a huge honor for Gonzales.
Gonzales has been with the Mariners since 2018, and has been an integral part of the team’s success. He’s been a leader in the clubhouse, and has been an active member of the Seattle community. He’s visited local schools to talk to students about the importance of education, and has also been involved in various charitable causes in the area.
Gonzales said that being nominated for the Roberto Clemente Award is an incredible honor. “It’s a huge honor to be nominated for this award,” he said. “I’m humbled and grateful to be considered for something that is so meaningful and important to the game of baseball.”
Gonzales is one of 30 nominees for the award, and he’s up against some stiff competition. Other nominees include players like Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, and Justin Verlander. The winner of the award will be announced at the end of the season.
No matter who wins the award, it’s clear that Gonzales is a deserving candidate. He’s been a great ambassador for the game of baseball, and his commitment to giving back to his community is commendable. It’s no surprise that he was nominated for the Roberto Clemente Award, and it would be a great honor if he were to win it.
