BLUE JAYS' BAUTISTA WINS SECOND STRAIGHT HANK AARON AWARD

Jose Bautista remains the most valuable player in the American League in the eyes of baseball fans. The Toronto Blue Jays star won his second consecutive Hank Aaron Award as the most outstanding offensive performer in the AL on Monday after votes by fans and a panel of Hall of Famers were tallied.
Bautista led the majors in home runs for a second year in a row with 43 and batted a career-best .302 with 103 RBIs.

The 31-year-old also led the majors in walks (132), slugging percentage (.608) and on-base plus slugging (1.056) to become the first player since Barry Bonds in 2001 to lead in four offensive categories.
