TORONTO -- R.
Manchester United Jersey Adidas .A. Dickey
earned an American League Gold Glove on Tuesday to become the first Toronto Blue
Jays pitcher to win the award. Dickey had a 14-13 record with a 4.21 earned-run
average and 177 strikeouts in his first season in Toronto. He had only two
errors in his 224.2 innings of play, qualifying him for the award as best
fielder at his position for the first time in his career. The 39-year-old
knuckleballer is the ninth Blue Jay to win a Gold Glove and the first since
outfielder Vernon Wells in 2006. St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina won
his sixth straight Gold Glove award Tuesday, making him one of four players in
the World Series rewarded for superior defence this season. Red Sox second
baseman Dustin Pedroia and right fielder Shane Victorino also were honoured,
along with Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright. Boston has a 3-2 edge over St.
Louis going into Game 6 on Wednesday night. Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado
became the first rookie to win a Gold Glove since Seattle outfielder
Ichiro Suzuki in 2001. Atlanta shortstop Andrelton Simmons and Baltimore third
baseman Manny Machado also were among the eight first-time recipients. "Its
pretty awesome," Simmons said in a brief interview on ESPN during the awards
show. The Orioles and Royals had three winners apiece, tied for the most of any
team. Baltimore finished with the fewest errors in the majors (54) and set a big
league record with a .991 fielding percentage. Kansas City left fielder
Alex Gordon took his third Gold Glove in a row, while first baseman Eric Hosmer
and catcher Salvador Perez each received their first. "Ive got a trophy case
back in Lincoln, (Neb.), so this one wont be the chip-and-dip tray. This one
will actually go up in the trophy case," Gordon said. "It means a lot. The first
one was pretty special, just because its the first one, but to be able to share
it with two teammates makes this one the best one of all." Baltimore shortstop
J.J. Hardy and centre fielder Adam Jones were repeat winners, as was Rockies
left fielder Carlos Gonzalez. His 22-year-old teammate, Arenado, became the 10th
rookie to win. "Im still kind of in shock. I still cant believe it," he said on
ESPN. Center fielder Carlos Gomez became the first Gold Glove winner for
Milwaukee since shortstop Robin Yount in 1982, ending the longest drought for
any team in the 57-year history of the award. Toronto knuckleballer R.A. Dickey
was the winner among American League pitchers. Arizonas Gerardo Parra won in
right field after taking the National League honours in left two years ago.
Other recipients in the NL were Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips, his
fourth, and Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, his first. "Pretty
cool," said Goldschmidt, who also won the Hank Aaron Award as the NLs top hitter
this season. Now, a Gold Glove for Goldschmidt as well. Fits like a ... well ...
you know. "Its a huge honour to get recognized," he said. "Theres so many great
players around the league." Since 1957, Rawlings has presented Gold Gloves to
the finest fielders at their positions. Managers and coaches vote for players in
their league but cannot choose their own guys. For the first time this year,
Rawlings added a sabermetric element to the balloting. The SABR Defensive Index
made up about 25 per cent of the process. "Wow, hard work pays off," Phillips
said. "I take pride in my defence and try to go out there to make the pitching
staff feel comfortable while theyre on the mound. I like being the pitchers best
friend. People overlook defence these days." Six teams accounted for 14 of the
18 winners. Only two clubs had multiple winners last season, when the Orioles
claimed three and the New York Yankees two. "To win three Gold Gloves this year
was very impressive I think for our team, for our organization," Royals manager
Ned Yost said. "These young men who won these Gold Gloves have worked their
tails off defensively, and the thing that impresses me so much is I think these
kids are only going to get better and better defensively." Rawlings announced
three finalists at each position last week. Tampa Bays entire infield was
picked, but none of those four players won. Baltimore led all teams with six
finalists, including first baseman Chris Davis, right fielder Nick Markakis and
catcher Matt Wieters. At perhaps the most competitive spot, the 21-year-old
Machado supplanted Texas Adrian Beltre and Tampa Bays Evan Longoria, who
combined to win the previous six AL Gold Gloves at third base. Machado became
the first Orioles third baseman to win since Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson took
the last of his 16 straight in 1975.

appears to have delivered on that international splash they promised their fans.
According to the UK-based Daily Mirror, Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe has
agreed to a four-year offer to join Toronto FC. The move - expected to take
effect during the January transfer window - is believed to be worth £90,000 per
week and is also believed to include a £6 million transfer fee to Tottenham. On
Wednesday the MLS club said the report is "inaccurate." Maple Leaf Sports &
Entertainment CEO Tim Leiweke promised an upgrade to his MLS franchises talent
pool in late September, promising: "Im going to be in Europe in the next few
weeks to find two world class strikers for that soccer team once and for all -
stop the chatter and perform and delivver.

" When asked about the mission and whether he thought a franchise-altering
talent like former Los Angeles Galaxy addition David Beckham was to be had, he
did not mince words. "Are we going to be able to get a player as good or better
than David Beckham? Yes," Leiweke told the press. The 31-year-old Defoe will
earn a raise of £28,000 per week over his current salary. Defoe has been held
goalless in eight Barclays Premier League appearances with Spurs this season,
but has registered two goals in two League Cup games as well as seven goals in
five Europa League appearances. The striker has earned 55 caps with Englands
senior mens team, scoring 19 goals and appeared for England in both the 2010
FIFA World Cup and Euro 2012.
