Rollins, Victorino snag Gold Gloves
In the twisted way the voters (managers and coaches) cast their ballots, Jimmy Rollins apparently couldn't win a Gold Glove until he had an MVP season with the bat.
Rollins won his third straight Gold Glove Wednesday afternoon. He is the first to win three straight in the NL since Rey Ordonez (97-99).
Shane Victorino is also a repeat winner. The Flyin' Hawaiian is the just the second Phils outfielder to be honored the Gold Glove more than once: Gary Maddox won eight straight (75-82).
Former Phillies speedster Michael Bourn was on his first Gold Glove. Bourn was traded to the Astros two years ago in the deal that netted the Phils Brad Lidge.
