Josh Bell was the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 2020 nominee for the Roberto Clemente award, which is. “... bestowed annually to the player who best represents the game of Baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field.” He was asked this past weekend, after he was traded to D.C. in a 2-for-1 deal with the Bucs, if his efforts in the community would continue in his new home.
“I’m excited,” Bell said. “I can definitely pick [Josh Harrison’s] brain just a little bit. Get in touch with the team a little bit more, and I think that especially after this year it was really tough to get out in the community and really see tangible results, so I’m excited to hopefully have somewhat of a normal world once the vaccine gets introduced to the public and I’m able to go out and see the good that I can do.
