Answer 3

David Ortiz of the Boston Red SDox. He does a ton of charity work and raises money for children's cancer treatment. He was selected as the humanitarian award winner in greater Boston.

You should look up the last few winners to get an idea of what some of the baseball players do for charities.) Good luck.
