Gold Gloves All Around
The Gold Glove winners (for defensive excellence) have been announced for both leagues. They announced the AL winners a few days prior to the NL winners and made me wait (I follow the NL much more closely).
Here they are (Position/Player/Team/# of Gold Gloves):
NL
P Greg Maddux CHC/LAD 16
C Brad Ausmus HOU 3
1B Albert Pujols STL 1
2B Orlando Hudson ARI 2
3B Scott Rolen STL 7
SS Omar Vizquel SF 11
OF Andruw Jones ATL 9
OF Mike Cameron SD 3
OF Carlos Beltran NYM 1
AL
P Kenny Rogers DET 5
C Ivan Rodriguez DET 12
1B Mark Teixeira TEX 2
2B Mark Grudzielanek KC 1
SS Derek Jeter NYY 3
3B Eric Chavez OAK 6
OF Torii Hunter MIN 6
OF Ichiro Suzuki SEA 6
OF Vernon Wells TOR 3
How can you not love Maddog getting his 16th and tying the record for the most Gold Gloves in a career? And of course I was glad to see my boy Andruw up there with his 9th consecutive Gold Glove Award, although I can’t say I didn’t expect that.
Most of the names, in fact, were expected, however a lot of people would like to debate on who was worthy and didn’t make the cut, or who did make it but didn’t deserve to. Feel free to leave your opinions.
