Kapler spent 12 seasons as a professional baseball player, playing for six different teams, and being a part of the famous 2004 Boston Red Sox who won the franchise's first World Series since 1918, ending the infamous, "Curse of the Bambino." After he retired in 2011, Kapler bounced around the world of baseball for a few years. Continue to Article

In the National League, Pete Alonso took home the award -- though unlike his American League counterpart, his victory was not unanimous. Braves' hurler Mike Soroka received one first place vote with Alonso claiming the other 29. It's the sixth time that a Mets' player has won the award, joining Tom Seaver (1967), Jon Matlack (1972), Darryl Strawberry (1983), Dwight Gooden (1984) and Jacob deGrom (2014). Continue to Article
