Golden Gloves (disambiguation)
The Golden Glove is awarded in Major League Baseball to the most "superior individual fielding performance" at each position (in each league), as voted by the managers and coaches of Major League Baseball.
In 1957, the baseball glove manufacturer Rawlings invented the idea of the Golden Glove to commemorate the best fielding performance at each position in baseball. At the time, there was an award called the "Silver Bat," which was awarded by Hillerich & Bradsby, the Major League Baseball bat provider of the time, to the league's leading hitters, but there was no award for fielding. A glove made from gold lame-tanned leather was affixed to a walnut base and the Golden Glove was born.
