All-time Gold Glove Team
On February 20, 2007, Major League Baseball and Rawlings announced that an all-time Gold Glove Team would be named during the 50th anniversary of the first Gold Glove Awards. Rawlings asked 70 baseball reporters, former players and former managers to select 50 names for the ballot, from an initial selection of 250 names. The team was selected by fans, who voted at the Rawlings Gold Glove website, at United States Postal Service offices, and at sporting goods stores.

The gold for which they leave the golden line
Of lyric is a golden light divine,
Never the gold of darkness from a mine.”

That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?”
