All-Time Rawlings Gold Glove Team

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first Gold Glove Awards, Rawlings held a worldwide fan based debate dubbed the "Summer of Glove". Nearly a million fans cast votes and selected the nine best defensive players of the past fifty years. Baseball Almanac is pleased to preserve the All-Time Rawlings Gold Glove Team.

"Imagine this team taking the field. These players are certainly among the best ever … and it's thrilling to see that the All-Time Rawlings Gold Glove team transcends generations." - Rawlings President Robert Parish
