Nov 12
CF Shane Victorino and SS Jimmy Rollins didn't win another World Series ring, but they picked up some gold Nov. 11 for their 2009 seasons. Rollins became the first NL shortstop in a decade -- and the first Phillies player since Mike Schmidt -- to win a third consecutive Gold Glove, while managers and coaches gave Victorino the award for a second straight season. Rollins, whose .983 career fielding percentage ranks second all time for a shortstop behind only Omar Vizquel (.985), led all shortstops with a .990 fielding percentage and made only six errors, the lowest single-season total of his career, in 607 chances. He's the first NL shortstop to win three straight Gold Gloves since the Mets' Rey Ordonez (1997-99). Victorino started a career-high 149 games in center field and ranked second among NL outfielders with a .997 fielding percentage. He committed one error in 345 chances and tied for fifth among NL center fielders with eight assists.
