Saint Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols Jersey
1 recommendation
"Having a rocky start to his career didn't deter Albert Pujols from clinching the 2001 National League Rookie of the Year Award. The second baseman has had a stellar year, including his 1,500 career hit and the Roberto Clemente Award nomination."
San Francisco Giants Frost Fleece by Antigua
1 recommendation
"Kevin Frandsen, second baseman for the Giants, is the team's 2008 Roberto Clemente Award nominee. Having ruptured his Achilles tendon in March of this year, clinching the Award would certainly be the highlight of his season."
San Diego Padres' Trevor Hoffman Jersey
1 recommendation
"Sports is all in the family for pitcher Trevor Hoffman, whose wife is a former cheerleader for the Buffalo Bills and father was a singing usher at Angels games. 2008 is a milestone year for Hoffman, who pitched for his 550th save in August and is now a Roberto Clemente Award nominee."
Pittsburgh Pirates' Jack Wilson Jersey
1 recommendation
"Shortstop Jack Wilson began playing with the Pirates in 2001, experiencing a small setback in 2005 when he had an appendectomy. He now represents his team as a Roberto Clemente Award nominee."
Philadelphia Phillies' Jimmy Rollins Jersey
1 recommendation
"Shortstop Jimmy Rollins has the eighth longest hitting streak (38 games) in Major League Baseball. The 2007 MVP for the National League, he is now the Phillies' nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award."
New York Mets' David Wright Autographed Game Used Base
1 recommendation
"Since the Mets will be moving to a new stadium in 2009, this autographed base will become even more valuable once the old stadium is demolished. And although the Mets are not in post-season play, David Wright has had a great 2008 season, up to and including his nomination for the Roberto Clemente Award."
Milwaukee Brewers' Jeff Suppan Jersey
1 recommendation
"Starting pitcher Jeff Suppan is also the owner of a restaurant, "Soup's Grill", in Los Angeles which specializes in Philadelphia cuisine. Also a dabbling in acting and politics, it is perhaps not surprising that Suppan now finds himself a Roberto Clemente nominee."
Los Angeles Dodgers' James Loney Autographed Batting Helmet
1 recommendation
"A first baseman for the Dodgers, Loney has played for the team since his debut in 2006. With a grand slam already under his belt in 2008, receiving the Roberto Clemente Award would be a sweet finish to his season."
Houston Astros' Lance Berkman Jersey
1 recommendation
"Otherwise known as "The Big Puma", Lance Berkman is a first baseman for the Astros. Whether despite or because of being struck in the head by a teammate during a routine play this season, he is now a Roberto Clemente Award nominee."
Colorado Rockies' Jeff Francis Jersey
1 recommendation
"Hailing from Vancouver, Jeff Francis has been a pitcher for the Rockies since 2002. A physics major at the University of British Columbia, he may also be one of the smartest men in Major League Baseball."
Cincinnati Reds' Brandon Phillips Rookie Baseball Card
1 recommendation
"Brandon Phillips has been a member of the 20 home run - 20 stolen bases club for two years in a row. The second baseman can now pride himself on being a 2008 Roberto Clemente Award nominee."
Chicago Cubs' Ryan Dempster Jersey
1 recommendation
"Canadian Ryan Dempster is a pitcher with a great sense of humor and a flair for color commentary. A winner of the Tip O'Neill award (given by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame) he is as well regarded at home as he is here in the United States."
Arizona Diamondbacks' Brandon Webb Jersey
1 recommendation
"2006 Cy Young Award winner (given to the best pitcher in Major League Baseball) Brandon Webb has a stretch of Kentucky highway bearing his name. And now he is shooting for the Roberto Clemente Award."
Toronto Blue Jays' Vernon Wells Jersey
1 recommendation
"Centerfielder Vernon Wells was struck in the face with a line drive as a Little League baseball player. Rather than deterring him from future play, he became a stellar performer and is regarded as one of the best outfielders in the Major League. And now he is one to watch for the Roberto Clemente Award."
Texas Rangers' Kevin Millwood Jersey
1 recommendation
"Pitcher Kevin Millwood has a career record of 1685 strikeouts. Not too shabby. Neither is the fact that he is one of this year's contenders for the Roberto Clemente Award. Good luck, Kevin !"
Tampa Bay Devil Rays' Carlos Pena Jersey
1 recommendation
"A thorn in the side of the Red Sox for much of the 2008 season, Carlos Pena has found his stride after leaving the Sox for the Devil Rays in 2006. "Comeback Player of the Year" for the American League in 2007, he may just find himself with yet another accolade should he win the Roberto Clemente Award in 2008."
Seattle Mariners' Raul Ibanez Jersey
1 recommendation
"Fun fact about Raul Ibanez: his at-bat song is "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon. Interesting choice, but it seems to work particularly well for him when the Mariners play in Anaheim. Buen suerte, Raul, as the voting comes to a close in the Roberto Clemente contest."
Oakland Athletics' Jersey
1 recommendation
"Second baseman Mark Ellis is the A's Roberto Clemente nominee in 2009. Although he has suffered numerous injuries over the course of his professional career, he has nonetheless managed to hit the cycle (a single, double, triple and home run in a single game) in 2007."
New York Yankees' Johnny Damon Jersey
1 recommendation
"Damon pulled a "Babe Ruth" at the conclusion of the 2004 season, moving from Boston to New York to play for the Yankees. He may not get much of a welcome when the Yankees come to Fenway, but we really do miss you, Johnny. :-("
Minnesota Twins' Michael Cuddyer Cards
1 recommendation
"Twins fans apparently adore the cherubic face of Michael Cuddyer. You can purchase a set of 20 different Cuddyer cards on their website. Well, if he is as much of an angel as he looks, he may just win this year's Roberto Clemente Award."
Kansas City Royals' Mark Teahen Jersey
1 recommendation
"This right fielder was once favorably compared to Jason Giambi, but seems as though he has made his own mark (thank you very much) in his own way on the game of baseball."
Chicago White Sox's Jermaine Dye Jersey
1 recommendation
"The White Sox are looking really good this year, and Jermaine Dye is at least partially responsible for that. Be sure to vote for him by tonight at midnight if he is your pick for the Roberto Clemente winner in 2009."
Boston Red Sox's Kevin Youkilis Jersey
1 recommendation
"To the uninitiated, the cheers from the crowd sound a lot like "Booo!" Well, if you are at Fenway Park, Kevin Youkilis has most likely just come up to bat or strolled over to first base. His nickname is "Youk" or "Yoouuuuk!" And he also happens to be the team's Roberto Clemente Award nominee."
Baltimore Orioles' Melvin Mora Jersey
1 recommendation
"Not every MLB team makes it to October, but every team does have a Roberto Clemente Award (given annually to the player who displays the greatest combination of on-field prowess and off-field community presence) nominee. In the case of the Orioles, Melvin Mora is the philanthropist-athlete who is in the running for 2009."
Florida Marlins' Personalized Jersey
1 recommendation
"2008 is Luis Gonazlez' first year with the Florida Marlins. But it may be his best yet as he is now a contender for the Roberto Clemente Award."
Atlanta Braves' Tim Hudson Jersey
1 recommendation
"Pitcher Tim Hudson won the Roberto Clemente Award in 2006 AND 2007, so this would be a three-peat for him in 2008."
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Jersey
1 recommendation
"Put any name you want on this custom jersey, even that of relief pitcher Justin Speier. He just happens to also be a Roberto Clemente nominee."
Cleveland Indians' Grady Sizemore Jersey
1 recommendation
"An outstanding centerfielder, Grady Sizemore is also an outstanding human. Best of luck in this year's Robert Clemente competition !"
Detroit Tigers' Magglio Ordonez Jersey
1 recommendation
"Hopefully, if Ordonez is the winner of the Roberto Clemente Award this year, the presenter will know how to pronounce his name. It's a mouthful !"
