Phillies SS Freddy Galvis, CF Odubel Herrera Lose Gold Glove

While almost all of America paid attention to the results of the presidential election Tuesday night, they were not the only voting results being announced that night. Major League Baseball announced the winners of the 2016 Gold Glove Awards, which Phillies shortstop Freddy Galvis and center fielder Odubel Herrera were both nominated for. Unfortunately, Galvis and Herrera lost out to their competitors.

According to MLB.com, “the prestigious Rawlings Gold Glove Awards are selected based on votes that combine input from MLB managers and coaches, plus statistical analysis.”

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford took home his second Gold Glove, beating Galvis and Addison Russell of the Cubs.
