"Nolan Arenado became the first rookie third baseman in National League history to win a Rawlings Gold Glove Award, and left fielder Carlos Gonzalez took home the award for the third time in the last four years. Arenado, 22, was promoted to the Majors on April 28, about a month into the season. It didn't take him long to move to the head of the third-base class with his numerous highlight-level plays and general dependability and range at the position. He finished second in the league in putouts and assists at the position despite playing most of April at Triple-A Colorado Springs. The Red Sox's Frank Malzone in 1957 is the only American League rookie third baseman to win it. 'It means a lot. It's pretty special, pretty crazy,' Arenado said. 'I'm still kind of in shock, you know, and still can't believe it. It's a blessing, man. I'm very happy.'" - Harding, Thomas. MLB Staff Writer. Arenado joins CarGo with Gold Glove, makes history. 29 October 2013.
