Sorry that I had an off day yesterday. In sports lingo, that usually means no game. In KQ Sports BBQ lingo, it means I didn't I didn't post. But there's lots to talk about today like the post-World Series.
We're now in that period of time where there's still news from Major League Baseball. Over the next several days, there will be announcements about awards. Today's announcement is the American League Gold Glove winners. Tomorrow's will be the National League winners.
Tip:
> Each league has 9 winners, 1 for each position: pitcher, catcher, 1st, 2nd, 3rd base, shortstop, and three outfielders.
> A gold glove award indicates that these players are the best fielders in the entire league at their position. The award is sponsored by Rawlings, which makes (not surprisingly), baseball gloves.
> 2009 winners in the American League:
Mark Buehrle (BURR-lee), P, Chicago, this is his 1st award
Joe Mauer, Catcher, Minnesota, this is his 2nd award
Mark Teixeira (tuh-SHARE-uh), 1st base, New York Yankees, this is his 3rd award
Placido Polanco, 2nd base, Detroit, this is his 2nd award
Evan Longoria, 3rd base, Tampa Bay, this is his 1st award
Derek Jeter, SS, New York Yankees, this is his 4th award
Adam Jones, Outfield, Baltimore, this is his 1st award
Ichiro Suzuki (EE-cheer-oh), Seattle, this is his 9th award

Enjoy! We'll check out the National League winners tomorrow!
