"Matt Kemp was recognized as the top offensive player in the National League on Monday when he became the first Dodger to win the Hank Aaron Award.

Kemp, 27, was a triple crown contender and was one home run short of becoming the fifth player in baseball history to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in the same season.

"It's definitely a dream come true," said Kemp, who was accompanied by family members who included his parents, Judy and Carl, and his grandparents. "Hopefully, I can keep dreaming and keep going, keep this dream alive.""
