The Honors Keep Rolling In For Vogelsong

This from MLB.com writer Chris Haft:

Ryan Vogelsong's saga transcended baseball, which made him the obvious choice for this year's Willie Mac Award.

Vogelsong was honored in a ceremony before Friday night's series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The right-hander earned the distinction by winning a vote conducted primarily by players, coaches and the athletic training staff, who annually bestow the award upon the Giant best embodying the competitive and inspirational spirit of Hall of Fame first baseman Willie McCovey, who also gets a vote.

"It's named after one of the greatest Giants ever, one of the best players in Major League Baseball history," Vogelsong said, articulating the thrill he received with the award. "Just to have my name involved with his and some of the other guys who won the award is really neat for me. Because I enjoy being a Giant so much."
