Josh Donaldson, Bryce Harper win Hank Aaron Award

Toronto's Josh Donaldson won the American League's Hank Aaron Award and Washington's Bryce Harper was voted the NL honor.

The award, established in 1999, is given to the most outstanding offensive performer in each league as determined by fans and a panel of' Hall of Famers selected by Aaron.

Donaldson hit .297 with 122 runs, 41 doubles, 41 homers and 123 RBI as the Blue Jays reached the playoffs for the first time since winning the 1993 title. Harper batted .330 with 118 runs, 38 doubles, 42 homers and 99 RBI.

Donaldson was asked how he came up with his "BringerOfRain" Twitter handle.

"It was actually a series called 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand," he said. "And the main character's name, Spartacus, and he becomes a gladiator. To make a long story short, he's fighting this guy, his name is Theokoles. He's a legend in the ring. The story is he's been stabbed a thousand times. I mean, it's crazy. To say the least, Spartacus ends up defeating him and killing him, and their country was in a drought at the time. And after he was able to defeat him, the rain had been brought. So he was called Spartacus, 'Bringer of Rain.' I thought it was pretty neat, so I stole it."
