Kershaw is also nominated for Best Performance after holding a 37-inning scoreless streak during parts of July and August. Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman is nominated for Best Executive.
The Dodgers have no shortage of stars in the stands, including actor Ken Jeong, who is nominated for Best Celebrity Fan. Jeong was a guest at the club's stadium on multiple occasions this season, including when he announced the team's starting lineup for its regular-season finale. .
The team's nominations would not be complete without legendary broadcaster Vin Scully. He is nominated for Best TV Call, after the Dodgers picked up a walk-off win when a balk from Keone Kela of the Rangers sent Enrique Hernandez home from third base. "And hold everything, the kid balked!" Scully exclaimed. "Holy mackerel, the Dodgers get a run. On a balk!"
Scully is also included in the nomination for Best Video Board Moment. Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel delivered news on the video board in late August using a series of cue cards that Scully would return in 2016 for his 67th season with the team.
