Ruthlandian Union Announces Golden Glove Award Winners
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. The defensive wizards will collect their 2020 Ruthlandian Union Golden Glove Awards tonight. Hal Stevenson of Sugar Valley will pick up his 8th Gold Glove, Norm Owens of San Dimas gets his 6th and Vic Valenti of Beechwood and Jug Slavin of Grand City will receive it for the 3rd time. Jimmy Bell of Crystal Lake and LF Phil Stewart of Far Mountain are two-time winners.
