Our Gold Glover

Congratulations to the winner of the AL Gold Glove for second basemen - Dustin Pedroia! What an incredible twelve months he's had - World Series Champion, AL Rookie of the Year, a fantastic 2008 with the Sox, and now a Gold Glove. The capper would be the AL Most Valuable Player Award, which he richly deserves.

Pedie is only the second RS second baseman to win this award - the other being Doug Griffin (sigh) in 1972.

And I like to picture the scene at the Pedroia's yesterday when the award was announced:

I love that picture of Pedie's mom and dad. I think I snagged it from the Globe....
