Gold Gloves Come To Those Who Wait

The baseball season is over and while one award has been handed out, the San Francisco Giants are champions of baseball, fans have been awaiting to hear the winners of the other coveted awards. Well today, the Gold Glove Awards for the American League have been announced and it looks like Robinson Cano is leading the pack. Wait...does this mean what I think it means...Robinson Cano will win his first GG Award! Sweet! Let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit the good, bad, and the ugly side of Robinson Cano's fielding.

Remember when Cano came up in 2005 and we were all a little weary of his skills? Remember in 2006 and 2007 when all of our suspicions were warranted because Robinson Cano went through a case of the "lazies"...laziness to be exact. Cano's fielding and effort was abysmal and with constant hammering from Joe Torre, Larry Bowa, and somehow himself, Cano turned that around and from the 2009 season onward, he has been an unstoppable force. Now, he makes fielding look like a walk in the park...yes a baseball pun =].

Congratulations to Cano and the other AL winners, including two other Yankees, Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira. You guys did well this year and I hope you continue to make us all proud next season.

XOXO,
Whitney
