PrintEvery team gets one nominee, and the Mariners went with RRS. What is the Roberto Clemente Award?
...the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevrolet -- given to the player who best combines outstanding skills on the baseball field with devoted work in the community.
Ryan Rowland-Smith will not be winning the Roberto Clemente Award.
Other nominees who will not be winning:
-Geoff Blum
-James Loney
-John Baker
-Jeremy Affeldt
-Jensen Lewis
-Andy LaRoche
-Juan Pierre
Jensen Lewis and John Baker, for the record, have appeared in a combined 50 Major League games this season, and have been bad. That they came away as the Cleveland and Florida nominees for an award given to the player that best combines on-field performance with community service suggests that the Indians and Marlins are a bunch of suckbags and assholes.

RRS is also quite involved with Mariners Care.

Man, all helping out charities instead of practicing his baseball. What a terrible human being who should feel ashamed.
Morgan Ensberg for Manager 2011!
AL Scout on Rendon: "I would peg him as a poor man's Jose Lopez."
Wow, not exactly a prestigious list this year.

Well hey, Geoff Blum is still playing baseball.

Dang, I was hoping Josh Lueke would win it
Just so I could see a few certain sportswriters’ heads explode.
You'd think that with the qualification that it be some one who exhibits outstanding skills on the baseball field,
you’d think they’d nominate a Mariner who actually has outstanding skills. Like, for instance….uh…..
oh never mind

Well, Tor-i-i is nominated
and I see that he is “has been a shining light for a lot of people, encouraging so many to take up the game regardless of race, ethnicity, height, weight, age and even ability level.”"
