But honestly, I couldn\u2019t stop thinking about my family and being able to go see them after the game. But I\u2019m just thankful that I was able to do that and help the AL team win.\u201d As fans are a part of voting, you can vote for your favorite MLB nominee\u00a0HERE.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aditude_inline_container\">\n<div id=\"aditude_article_inline_3\" class=\"aditude_div\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Boston Red Sox Nominee Duran May Win<\/h2>\n<p>There is some steep competition, with ten other AL nominees like Yordan Alvarez and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. being nominated. Including New York Yankees Center Fielder Aaron Judge only time will tell who takes home the Hank Aaron Award this season.<\/p>\n<p>With such prestige, the last time a Boston Red Sox player took home the Hank Aaron Award was in 2016 when David Ortiz took home the crown. Kevin Youkilis before that in 2008, Ortiz again in 2005, and Manny Ramirez in 2004. Since its start in 1999 only four Red Sox have won, will Jarren Duran be the fifth?<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author_bio\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The prestigious Hank Aaron Award started in 1999 after the 25th Anniversary of Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth\u2019s all-time home run record.
