Platinum Glove Award
From Bull League Wiki
| |||||||||||||
The Platinum Glove Award is an annual award given to the best defensive players at each field position (including pitchers) in both the Metropolitan League (ML) and the Lake League (LL). Winners are chosen by a vote.
The award was first awarded in 1995. Prior to this, only limited fielding statistics were kept by the league, and it was award voting was limited to offensive and pitching categories.
Silas "Thrill" Clark holds the record for the most consecutive, and the most overall Platinum Glove awards, with 10. The first baseman won the award every year for ten consecutive years in the LL from 1995 to 2004.[1]
