Back in 1957, Rawlings started awarding Gold Gloves for fine defensive play over the course of a season. Many have won the coveted glove, some numerous times. With it being the 50th year of giving the Gold Glove, Rawlings has decided to award an All-Time Gold Glove award for each position. They held voting online and here are the results. The winner is listed first and with the number of Gold Gloves won.
