MATTINGLY EARNS 8TH GOLD GLOVE

Don Mattingly of the New York Yankees caught up with George Scott for the most Gold Gloves by an American League first baseman, winning for the eighth time in awards announced Monday in New York.

Second baseman Roberto Alomar and outfielder Devon White of the World Series champion Toronto Blue Jays, outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. of Seattle and pitcher Mark Langston of California were among seven of last year's winners to repeat.

Only Seattle shortstop Omar Vizquel, who replaced Baltimore's Cal Ripken, and Cleveland outfielder Kenny Lofton, who took the place of Minnesota's Kirby Puckett, were first-time winners.

Texas catcher Ivan Rodriguez and Chicago third baseman Robin Ventura filled out this year's team.

The National League winners will be announced Tuesday. The Gold Gloves are presented by Rawlings to the best fielders in baseball as chosen in a vote by major league managers and coaches late in the regular season.
