Read that as “Clam Glove”

Uh

Jeter became the oldest honored at his position since Hall of Famer Luis Aparicio, who was 36 when awarded the last of his nine Gold Gloves in 1970.

In the American League, that is…Omar Vizquel won Gold Gloves in 2005/06 at age 38/39…but I guess that doesn’t count because it’s so much harder to play shortstop in the AL.

That’s what I was thinking, but they probably mean just AL.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

It’s just kind of silly they make such a big deal of it. “The age-defying accomplishment…” I guess that higher level of competition in the AL must age players faster.

Besides Omar, Ozzie Smith won his last NL Gold Glove in 1992 at age 37.

They have to make it seem like Jeter accomplished an amazing feat.

He’s no Harold Baines, that’s for sure.

Not too surprising list.

and baseball writers once again prove themselves to be completely ignorant

Jeter wins again. Unreal.

A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.

Actually, Jeter hasn’t won a GG since ’06, and unlike in that year, he was actually deserving of consideration this year.

Consideration, sure, but not the actual award.

Baseball writers do not vote on the Gold Glove awards. Managers and coaches do.

There were a few Angels fans at work upset that he didn’t win. Does anyone have any idea of the vote totals for the players?

I am shocked

That the Gold Glove doesn’t have an obnoxious sponsorship that repeated ad nauseum in this press release from the league mouthpiece. Considering baseball’s recent attempts to whore out every minor award they can get away with, this has to be considered nothing short of a miracle.
