At the beginning of November, Alex Gordon won his fifth Gold Glove for his stellar play in left field. His five Gold Gloves since 2011 are tied for the most won by any player (alongside Nolan Arenado, Jason Heyward, and Yadier Molina). Only an injury-shortened 2015 prevented him from a sixth.
If Gold Gloves aren’t enough evidence for you (which considering the checkered legitimacy of the award is fair), he’s been good enough to win an even more special honor. In 2014, Gordon was awarded the Platinum Glove as well. The Platinum Glove is given to the player with the best defense in each of the two leagues, as voted on by fans.
