Patrick Wisdom named as Cubs nominee for Roberto Clemente Award
Major League Baseball announced Roberto Clemente Award nominees Monday morning and Patrick Wisdom serves as the Cubs’ choice.
Each team nominates a player that “best represents the game of baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field.”
Wisdom is a first-time nominee; Marcus Stroman was the Cubs’ nominee in 2023.
The Cubs slugger has been an advocate for pediatric cancer throughout his career, serving as a regional St. Jude ambassador and raising funds to help cover costs for families.
Wisdom also volunteers through Adam Wainwright’s Big League Impact MISSION 3:18 Initiative and is very active in supporting Cubs Charities.
