On November 21, 1970, New York Mets outfielder Tommie Agee made baseball history: he became the first non-pitcher to win a Gold Glove in both the American and National League. Before joining the Mets, Agee began his career with scattered playing time from 1962-1964 for the Cleveland Indians. He was then traded as part of a three-team deal to the Chicago White Sox.
In Chicago, Agee enjoyed his first real taste of success in the major leagues. His official rookie season was in 1966, when all he did was make the All-Star team, hit 22 home runs with 86 RBI, score 98 runs, smack 27 doubles, and win the Rookie of the Year.
