IPA GOLDEN GLOVERS SHINED IN '62
Real baseball fans in recent years have taken notice that it takes more than hits and homers to win games... it also take good pitching... and good pitching depends greatly on its defenders, those guys that are featured in all of the highlight reels everyday of every season... there were plenty of standout plays that won a lot of games in the Islandian Pro Alliance this season... and here are the players that could go get 'em and throw 'em out... the 2062 Ruthlandian Union and Tycobbian Union Golden Glove teams... only one rookie, pitcher Timmy Aaron, made the teams... Tuffy Palmieri led with 6 Golden Gloves... Chad Cochran and Buddy Blackford are three-time winners.
