Gold Glove Award for American League Outfielders on Baseball Almanac

Gold Glove American League Outfielders

The Gold Glove Award was first presented by the St. Louis-based Rawlings corporation in 1957 to honor the eighteen best fielders at their positions. Rawlings used a combination of defensive statistics along with visual effect to determine the winner and honored the recipient with a large gold glove. Voting is currently done by the managers and coaches from each Major League team who are NOT able to select their own players. Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a comprehensive list of Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners at the outfielders position in the American League.

"All good balls to hit are strikes, though not all strikes are good balls to hit." - American League Gold Glove Recipient Dave Winfield
