RU, TU Awards Golden Gloves
"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 a play. These magicians are often taken for granted as the season grinds along, but today they take center stage. The Ruthlandian Union and Tycobbian Union announced the Golden Glove Awards for 2031 at a press conference.
The RU Golden Glovers were led by Kyle Hunt, who has been named 5 times in his career, Josh George picked for the third time and Pettis Pentleton for his second time.
The TU had four multiple Golden Glover winners: Freddy Franks, who has been awarded 3 Golden Gloves, and Rob Santorio, Billy Christianson and Babe Hankins have each been selected twice. No rookies made the teams this year.
