Rawlings All-Time Gold Glove Team
The Rawlings All-Time Gold Glove Team was announced in August of 2007 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Gold Glove award. Almost 1,000,000 votes were cast. Unlike the much-hyped All-Century team, internet voting did not lead to many deplorable choices. The most notable point of contention was the 4th-place finish at 2B for Bill Mazeroski, generally considered the best defensive second basemen of the modern era. One vote that demonstrates the fans' seriousness was the selection of Wes Parker - Parker was hardly a superstar and had played decades before the poll, but was still chosen. Every decade from the 1950s through 2000s were all represented in a solid balance of eras.
The winners were:
- P - Greg Maddux
- C - Johnny Bench
- 1B - Wes Parker
- 2B - Joe Morgan
- SS - Ozzie Smith
- 3B - Brooks Robinson
- OF - Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Ken Griffey Jr.
