Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc., and ESPN announced tonight that outfielder Alex Gordon and first baseman Eric Hosmer have been honored with American League Rawlings Gold Glove Awards.
This marks Gordon’s fifth career award, also winning four-straight from 2011–14. It’s Hosmer’s fourth accolade, also winning three in a row (2013–15). As a team, Kansas City has now won 14 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards since 2011, the most in the Majors in that span. The Royals are the only American League club to have at least one winner in each of the last seven seasons (since 2011), one behind Colorado for the longest active streak in the Majors (eight straight).
