I ha...OK, I'm now officially in a trivia slump. I had overlooked Omar Vizquel when I was going through the list. Pauly, you've got this Gold Glove stuff down pretty well. As it turns out, your top TWO on the "left-off" list were right. According to <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/gold_glove_al.shtml" rel="nofollow">Baseball Reference</a>, these currently active players have at least 9 Gold Gloves:<br /><br />Ivan Rodriguez (13)<br />Omar Vizquel (11)<br />Ken Griffey Jr. (10)<br />Andruw Jones (10)<br />Torii Hunter (9)<br />Ichiro Suzuki (9)<br /><br />It's also interesting to note that Scott Rolen has 7 Gold Gloves, which is third on the all-time 3B list. (Note: In my Baseball Reference link above and <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/gold_glove_al.shtml" rel="nofollow">here</a>, you'll have to scroll down to get top totals by position.)Greg McConnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504912601218236507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562453620510655271.post-362609454592527402010-05-10T12:41:21.855-05:002010-05-10T12:41:21.855-05:00Pauly - good guesses, although I would've gues...Pauly - good guesses, although I would've guessed that both ichiro and Hunter had more than D-Lee (since I knew that Helton had a few and Pujols had one). And it looks like your top 2 alternates were both good :-) One quibble - Crawford is currently playing in his 9th season :-)<br /><br />Initially, I was a little surprised that there were only 4 (or 5) players that had 9, but then you think about guys like Edmonds, Rolen, and Chavez, who had a bunch, but got a little older and started getting hurt.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446127555192793682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562453620510655271.post-72338244352781309902010-05-10T10:13:22.589-05:002010-05-10T10:13:22.589-05:00Nice...3 out of 4 and the 4th was the #1 guy on my...Nice...3 out of 4 and the 4th was the #1 guy on my left out list.Paulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13277287057711585857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562453620510655271.post-78089593695504807252010-05-10T10:10:46.583-05:002010-05-10T10:10:46.583-05:00OK here are my official 4 guesses without looking ...OK here are my official 4 guesses without looking it up: <br />Ken Griffey<br />Andruw Jones <br />Derrick Lee<br />Omar Vizquel<br /><br />Here are the other ones that didnt make the cut: <br />Ichiro<br />Torii Hunter<br />Pedro Feliz<br />Jim Edmonds<br />Luis Castillo<br />Miguel Tejada<br />Carl Crawford<br />Mike Lowell<br />Todd Helton<br />Orlando Hudson<br />Alex Rodriguez<br />Derek Jeter<br /><br />I will probably look it up now...I just went team-by-team in my head.Paulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13277287057711585857noreply@blogger.com
