It took their entire roster for the Cardinals to win 17 consecutive games and make the postseason in 2021. It helps when seemingly half that roster is Gold Glove caliber.
That's only a slight exaggeration after Sunday night's Gold Glove reveal. Five Cardinals players received defensive hardware among the nine National League winners—the most by a single team in the award's history.
Third baseman Nolan Arenado is the headliner, winning his ninth Gold Glove in as many seasons. Paul Goldschmidt and Tommy Edman won at first and second base, respectively, giving St. Louis three-fourths of the infield spots.
