Major League Baseball is in the heart of awards season and the Silver Slugger Awards were the latest bit of hardware to be handed out.
And after the Royals received plenty of love when finalists were announced at the end of October, they learned Friday that they wouldn't be left empty-handed.
Royals' superstar Bobby Witt Jr. was announced as the AL Silver Slugger Award winner for the shortstop position, marking his second consecutive Silver Slugger.
His triumphant announcement on The Baseball Insiders YouTube channel on Nov. 7, was certainly welcome news for both Witt and the entire Royals faithful after he the franchise cornerstone was overlooked as a finalist for this season's AL MVP.
