2006 Golden Gloves Announced
Discussion in the NPB News forum
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

It should surprise absolutely nobody that the lists were dominated by Fighters and Dragons players. The entire Fighters' outfield is the Pacific League Golden Glove outfield (maybe this comes from wearing gloves on their heads), though surprisingly, the guy I think is their best defensive player, shortstop Makoto Kaneko, did not get a Golden Glove. Today was his birthday - that's a pretty lousy un-present.
