Mark Buehrle was named as the 2009 Gold Glove recipient for pitchers today. He took the place of Mike Mussina, who won it last year after announcing his retirement. This was Buehrle's first career gold glove, and he joins former Sox pitcher Jim Kaat as the only pitchers in Sox history to achieve the feat (Kaat won it in two consecutive years from 1974-75). He is also the first Sox player of any position to win the Gold Glove since Robin Ventura took home the hardware as a third baseman in 1998.
So, let's see what Buehrle has accomplished so far in his career:
Starting in a World Series game: check.
Getting a save in a World Series game: check.
Winning a World Series ring: check.
Throwing a no-hitter: check.
Throwing a perfect game: check.
Winning a gold glove: check.
Buehrle, all you need is a Cy Young for next year and you are set! Congratulations to Buehrle once again, and go Sox!
