Sam Fuld Awarded for Character: A Little Ronny?

Sam Fuld was awarded the Dernell Stenson Award by the Arizona Fall League.  Story is here.

Fuld has juvenile diabetes and the award recognizes his work with children's programs related to the disease, as well as his work ethic as a baseball player.  The article is the most extensive write-up I have seen on Fuld's life.

I hadn't realized that he was unable to play the summer he was drafted because of a shoulder injury.  After playing four years in college, then missing that summer, he has been old for his leagues, but seems to still be improving.
