Aramis Ramirez Wins Hank Aaron Award

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Oct 27, 2008 2:15PM

Cubs slugger Aramis Ramirez was announced as the N.L. winner of the Hank Aaron Award shortly before Game Four of the World Series on Sunday night. Partly voted on by the fans, the award recognizes each league's best offensive performer. Ramirez finished 2008 with a .297 averag, 27 homers, and 111 RBI's. Congrats, Aramis, but you know what would have been better than winning an award Sunday night? Playing in the game Sunday night. Not that we're bitter or anything....
