The National League Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners were announced on Wednesday and Greg Maddux added to his record haul with his 18th trophy, two more than third baseman Brooks Robinson and pitcher Jim Kaat.
Maddux owns more Gold Glove awards than all other winners on the 2008 list combined. Much of that is due to five players receiving the award for the first time.
St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, San Diego Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips, Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino and Pittsburgh Pirates centerfielder Nate McLouth all earned Gold Gloves for the first time.
Jimmy Rollins of the World Series champion Phillies also landed on the list, the second time for the shortstop while New York Mets third baseman David Wright and centerfielder Carlos Beltran also picked up the hardware for the second time.
Managers and coaches vote for the Gold Glove award winners. The American League Gold Glove winners will be announced on Thursday.
