Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki was awarded his 10th consecutive American League Gold Glove award — one for each season Suzuki has been in the MLB. The award, recognizing the best defensive players at each position, is selected by the league’s managers and coaches at the end of each season. The only other players awarded 10 Gold Gloves are Andruw Jones, Ken Griffey Jr. and Al Kaline.
Also awarded were New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, their second baseman Robinson Cano and first baseman Mark Teixeira, Tampa Bay Rays left fielder Carl Crawford and third baseman Evan Longoria, Mariners center fielder Franklin Gutierrez, Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer, and Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle.
