Golden Gloves Announced by IPA

"Flashing the leather" and "good with the glove" are ways to describe players who help their teams by playing great defense. Today the most dependable glovemen in the Ruthlandian Union for 2006 were announced. There were no repeat winners this year. Golden Glove Awards will be presented to these top-notch defenders:
Pitcher: Dave Webb (Middlefield Roosters)

Year's Best Gloves Selected by Tycobbian Union
Making the play is the mark of great defenders. Spearing a liner, diving in the hole or crashing headlong into the wall makes no difference to these awe-inspiring fielders. Magicians they sometimes appear to be, showing up out of nowhere to rob a batter of a hit and to turn a hit into an out. Pitchers love 'em, batters curse 'em... and fans are sometimes speechless. Catcher Jim Mitchell of the Ginza Ninjas was the only repeat winner this year. He won for the second year in a row. All of the other recipients are first time selections this season.These defensive wizards will collect their 2006 Tycobbian Union Golden Glove Awards tonight:
Pitcher: Peter Brenneman (Rolling Hills Reds)
Catcher: Jim Mitchell (Ginza Ninjas)
First Baseman: Chancey Quibedeaux (Bayview Vikings)
Second Baseman: Dusty Eaton (Mahaska Haymakers)
Third Baseman: Benny Rotella (East Point Panthers)
Shortstop: Trevor Tomlinson (Denton City Redbirds)
Left Fielder: Vic Weinstein (Ozarka Naturals)
Center Fielder: Skeeter Hall (Bay St. Clair Buccaneers)
Right Fielder: Lonnie Jacobson (Ginza Ninjas)
