On Monday afternoon, Major League Baseball announced that Adam Wainwright is the recipient of the 2020 Roberto Clemente Award. The Roberto Clemente Award, given to those with tremendous on-field leadership and off-field selflessness, is the game’s most prestigious individual honor.
Long awaited, more than deserved.
