Aaron Judge was working out at home in California with his wife, Samantha, on Oct. 20 when he received a call from Jason Zillo, the vice president of communications and media relations for the New York Yankees.
\"You got a minute? This is very important,\" Judge recalled Zillo saying.
\"Is there a trade going on?\" Judge wondered. \"What\'s going on? Something important?\"
Then Zillo told him to sit down and informed Judge he had won Major League Baseball\'s Roberto Clemente Award for character, community involvement and philanthropy.
\"It is our highest honor because it represents the combination of on-field excellence and service in our communities,\" MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said.
