Jeter wins third straight Gold Glove  恭喜啦!
Yankees shortstop receives 57th such honor in club history

By Mark Feinsand / MLB.com

NEW YORK -- Derek Jeter added another piece of hardware to his trophy case on
Thursday, capturing his third consecutive Rawlings Gold Glove Award.
"The Gold Glove Award means a great deal to me," Jeter said in a statement.
"Fielding doesn't get many headlines, but it's a big part of the game of
baseball. I take great pride in my defense, and to be recognized with a Gold
Glove for three straight seasons is a great honor that I will always
cherish."

Jeter also won this year's Hank Aaron Award in the American League and is a
front-runner for the league's Most Valuable Player Award.

Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was "elated" upon hearing of Jeter's gold
glove, according to the owner's spokesman, Howard Rubenstein.

"I'm very proud of Derek," Steinbrenner said through Rubenstein. "I hope he
wins the MVP; he should. He's a great Yankee and a great leader."

Jeter's .975 fielding percentage ranked fourth in the AL, while his 15 errors
were third fewest behind to Texas' Michael Young and Chicago's Juan Uribe (14
each) among all AL shortstops who played in at least 130 games. Young (.981),
Cleveland's Jhonny Peralta (.977) and Uribe (.977) were the only shortstops
with a better fielding percentage.

In 2004, Jeter became the first Yankees shortstop to win the award, giving
the Bombers a Gold Glover at every position in their history.

The Yankees now have had 20 players win a total of 57 Gold Glove Awards, led
by Don Mattingly's nine at first base.

The other winners in the AL were Detroit's Kenny Rogers and Ivan Rodriguez,
Texas' Mark Teixeira, Kansas City's Mark Grudzielanek, Oakland's Eric Chavez,
Toronto's Vernon Wells, Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki and Minnesota's Torii Hunter.

Rawlings established the Gold Glove Award to recognize the best fielders at
each position. Managers and coaches of each team vote for the best defensive
players in their league, excluding their own team.

The first Rawlings Gold Gloves were awarded to one player at each position
across both leagues in 1957. Since 1958, the Rawlings Gold Glove Award has
been presented annually to a lineup of nine players for both the American and
National Leagues.
