IPA Picks Best Defenders For 2014

Top Defensive Players Named by RU
Great glovemen can range far and wide to make a backhand stop or an over-the-shoulder catch -- and the best usually make it look easy. Today the winners of the Ruthlandian Union Golden Glove Award for 2014 were announced. Sugar Valley's Hal Stevenson won his third Golden Glove, while Al Thibaut of Forest City and Phil Gravelli of Crystal Lake were honored for the second time in their careers.

This Year's Best Gloves Chosen by TU
"Hit 'em where they ain't" is a great hitting philosophy, but it doesn't always work when a fielder can seemingly appear out of nowhere to make the play. These magicians are often taken for granted as the season grinds along, but today they take center stage. Tycobbia had quite a few multiple winners: Rocky Fuqua of Tuckanarra and Rocco Belasario of Arlon were selected for his third Golden Glove Award and Jim Schubert of Red Bluff, Alan Hansen of Turon and Bob Snyder of Kenwood are two-time winners.
