...not Michael Brantley =(
as i wrote in a previous blog, Michael was the Cleveland Indians' nominee for the 2015 AL Hank Aaron Award for the second consecutive season. unfortunately, when the winners were finally revealed today on October 31, neither Michael nor his fans received a treat. Josh Donaldson of the Toronto Blue Jays was named the American League Hank Aaron Award winner for 2015 while Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals was named the NL Hank Aaron Award winner. Donaldson was presented with his award by none other than Hank Aaron prior to Game 4 of the World Series between the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets at Citi Field. Harper was unable to attend.
the
Hank Aaron Award is given to the top offensive player in each league every year. Donaldson, with his .297 batting average, 184 hits, 41 doubles, 2 triples, 41 home runs, 123 RBI, 122 runs, 73 walks, 133 strikeouts, and .939 OPS, is this season's
best hitter in the American League according to fans and a
panel of Hall of Fame players.
so for the 2nd year in a row, Michael was defeated. however,

when asked about Michael, Indians General Manager Chris Antonetti had this to say: "he's a complete player, and, we think, is deserving of MVP consideration with the year he had. he was a huge part of our success and we think he's one of the best players in the American League."
