Couple of items I missed:
* Yankees catcher Harry Finley won his 10th Gold Glove in 1939 before losing his job to Haung the Younger. With 10 Gold Glove, he broke a tie with Hall of Famer Harry Cohan to take sole possession of the record for catchers:
Gold Gloves by a Catcher
10 - Harry Finley NYA C (1927-31, 1933-36, 1939)
9 - Harry Cohan BSN/CHN C (1910-11, 1913, 1915-16, 1918-19, 1921, 1925)
8 - Willard Schwarz PHI C (1922-23, 1926-28, 1931-32, 1937)
5 - Vern Adameitz PIT C (1929-30, 1933-35)
In the career rankings regardless of position, the ten career gold gloves tied Finley with Cards second baseman Kevin Stines in third place behind Woody Woodson (12 awards) and "Ray of Light" Brown (11 awards won).
* Indians Left Fielder Charles Netzer won his 6th Gold Glove in 1939. That moved him into a second place tie for awards by a left fielder:

7 - Lawrence Barry DET/CIN LF (1926-31, 1933)
6 - Michael Borkholder PIT LF (1910-14, 1916)
6 - Pat Folyard WSH/DET LF (1914, 1916-20)
6 - Charles Netzer CHN/CLE LF (1929-32, 1937, 1939)
* Yankee Pitcher Art Booth's consecutive Gold Gloves in 1939 and 1940 ran his total to five, which also in second place for his position:

* Lastly, Indians Center Fielder Joe Campbell won consecutive Gold Gloves in 1939 and 1940 to run his total to five. This also ties for second place for his position:
