A brand new award show is making its debut on Univision this December. The top-rated Spanish-language network has many high profile award ceremonies all year long. Premios Juventud, has the youth voting for their favorites, Premio Lo Nuestro, has music fans voting for their favorite artists and the Latin Grammy's bring prestige honoring the best in Hispanic music. Now Premios Univision Deportes 2014 will honor the best in sports, the top athletes and the teams that Hispanic audiences follow the most. Nominations for the inaugural season of this show have been revealed and a total of 65 sports figures have scored a nod. Nominees are from a variety of sports that include soccer, basketball, baseball, boxing, auto racing and more.

Miguel "El Piojo" Herrera scored a nod in the Best Sports Moment Of The Year category for his unique way of celebrating his team's accomplishments.
