Hank Aaron Award

[1][2] In 2000, the system was changed to a ballot in which each MLB team's radio and television play-by-play broadcasters and color analysts voted for three players in each league.

The winner with the most hits was Ronald Acuña Jr. in 2023, Barry Bonds in 2001 had the most home runs, and Manny Ramírez in 1999 had the most RBIs.

Players from the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays have won the award five times, the most of any team.

The Hank Aaron Award has a maritaca granite base and an antique bat and banner combination on the top.

David Ortiz won two awards 11 years apart (2005 and 2016), the largest gap of any player.
