Ichiro and Adrian Beltre won American League Gold Glove awards for fielding excellence. Ichiro was honored in the outfield for the seventh straight time, while Beltre picked up his first award at third base.
The Gold Gloves, sponsored by Rawlings, are voted on by major-league managers and coaches.
Beltre's victory breaks the string of six straight Gold Glove awards at third base for Oakland's Eric Chavez. Ichiro has been honored every season since he joined the Mariners in 2001. This past season was his first full year as a center fielder. This was the first year since 2004 (Ichiro and second baseman Bret Boone) the Mariners have had more than one player on the team.
The rest of the AL team: Minnesota pitcher Johan Santana, Detroit catcher Ivan Rodriguez (his 13th Gold Glove), Boston first baseman Kevin Youkilis, Detroit second baseman Placido Polanco, Angels shortstop Orlando Cabrera, Minnesota outfielder Torii Hunter (his seventh) and Cleveland outfielder Grady Sizemore, an Everett native.
The NL team: San Diego pitcher Greg Maddux (a record 17th season), Los Angeles catcher Russell Martin, Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee, Arizona second baseman Orlando Hudson, Mets third baseman David Wright, Philadelphia shortstop Jimmy Rollins and outfielders Andruw Jones (his 10th) and Jeff Francoeur of Atlanta, Carlos Beltran of the Mets and Aaron Rowand of Philadelphia. (Four outfielders were named because there was a tie).
