Rollins, Victorino Win Gold Gloves

Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino have won National League Gold Gloves.

Rollins won his second Gold Glove. He committed just seven errors in 2008 with a range factor of 4.44, his best since 2002. Victorino, winning his first Gold Glove, committed just two errors as everyday center fielder, while throwing out seven runners. Both were spectacular in the field all season.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
