Tony has pledged to donate $250 for every stolen base and extra-base hit he records throughout the season. Through this player partnership, A\u2019s corporate partner PG&amp;E has also signed on to match Tony\u2019s donations up to $5,000, helping to increase the reach and impact of this program. To culminate the season-long initiative, Tony will participate in a community tree planting event in September.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/northwoodsleague.com\/rochester-honkers\/2022\/09\/21\/former-honker-kemp-nominated-for-roberto-clemente-award\/tony-kemp-rca-nominee\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14942\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-14942 alignright\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27411%27%20height%3D%27241%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20411%20241%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27411%27%20height%3D%27241%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/01\/Tony-Kemp-RCA-Nominee.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"411\" height=\"241\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\">Kemp played for the Honkers in 2011 while at Vanderbilt.\u00a0 He was drafted in the fifth round in the 2013 draft by Houston.\u00a0 He made his Major League debut in 2016, and was on Houston&#8217;s 2017 World Series roster.\u00a0 In 2019 he spent a season with the Chicago Cubs, before signing with his current team, Oakland in 2020.\u00a0 He helped the Honkers with their Hormel Institute, StriKing Out Cancer jersey reveal this summer.\u00a0 He was officially nominated on September 20th, and that night he hit the go ahead three-run homer that helped beat the Seattle Mariners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Honker and current Oakland Athletic Tony Kemp has been nominated for the Roberto Clemente Award.\u00a0 Since 1971 (then called  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15356,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,34,63,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-categories","category-homepagenewsslider","category-permanentslider","category-team-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
