Gold Gloves

 Superior League:

1B Tyson Cox, TEX

2B Jamy de Jongh, SPR

3B Dave Haney, PHO

SS Trevor Wood, MAR

C Jimmy Walker, LOU

P Scott Elzy, MIA

RF Elijah Foster, UTE

CF Allan Hunt, BOS

LF Jason Robinson, BAL

Elzy wins his second gold glove, while all the others are first time award winners. Wood led all of baseball with 27 defensive runs saved in his rookie season. He was a big part of leading Mars to a division title, and was acquired from Hollywood last season in exchange for utility infielder Erik Rivera, which looks like a steal of a deal now. Hunt tied the league record for most putouts in a season with 482, and also had 21 outfield assists. Data for outfield putouts goes back to 1997, so Hunt had more putouts than any season by Chad White, Kermit Holmes, or Dee Sanders, who combined for 34 gold gloves. We should note that the league does not have complete data for Sanders, Holmes, or Kenny Anderson, so one of those players may have had more putouts. 


Major League:

1B Brandon Cohen, TOR

2B Lee Thompson, NYC

3B Eddie Del Toro, HOL

SS Alex Jones, STL 

C Kenard Gil, DEN

P Jason Curry, DEN

LF Bubba Donaldson, HOL

CF Michael Molina, LA

RF Jason Combs, LA

Del Toro wins his 3rd gold glove, Thompson his second, and all the others are first time award winners. Molina led the league with 21 outfield assists. Del Toro previously won the award in 2016 and 2019. Billy Bass and Peter Rabbitt each failed to win their 6th gold glove.

Kenard Gil won the award for catcher in a controversial election. Gil threw out 32% of opposing base stealers and had 3 errors, 8 passed balls, and a 4.47 catcher ERA. New York's Jeff Bowman had 8 errors, 2 passed balls, threw out 31%, and had a catcher ERA of 3.21.

New York owner Brad of this Nation has falsely alleged voter fraud and demanded a recount. "When I went to bed Jeff Bowman had a COMMANDING LEAD for gold glove. Then I wake up and the league's FAKE NEWS FAT YODA keeps finding more ballots for Gil! They even have ballots from people who died in 1983!"

Editor's note: Brad is referring to Boba Fett, who some believe died in a Sarlacc pit in 1983. Boba Fett is alive and well and is the general manager of the Las Vegas Gamblers. He also appeared in season 2 episode 1 of The Mandalorian.

Tread carefully Fat Yoda. It’d be a shame to see you suffer the same fate as a certain former Springfield employee. I am the owner of the Gamblers, not the GM. The GM just happens to look like me you racist.
