09/06: Cano Nominated for Clemente Award
Posted by: Patrick
Cano is the Yankees nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award. Congrats.
When Cano was a child, he said he idolized Clemente as a talented baseball player. But as he's gotten older, Cano has gained a new respect for Clemente.
"The way he helped the kids and poor people was unbelievable," Cano said. "I want to do that."
Now the word is getting out about the kind of role model Cano is. Negron's book entitled "The Boy of Steel" tells a true story about Cano meeting a child named Michael Steel who was diagnosed with cancer.
