Dustin Pedroia won the “True Grit” Award for 2B this season in the first year the award was announced. Pedey won the award for trying to play with a broken foot.
The award, named after Hall of Fame pitcher Old Hoss Radbourn, who set the all-time Major League record by doggedly winning 59 games in a single season, goes to the best and grittiest men in baseball at all nine positions.
Fifty-Nine in 84 by Edward Achorn, documented Old Hoss Radbourn’s accomplishment. Sonoma Dave reviewed the book last month.
