Oops. Missed "Gold Glove" entirely. Thanks for merging the articles.
I think this should be removed:
At the time, there was an award called the "Silver Bat," which was awarded by Hillerich & Bradsby, the Major League Baseball bat provider of the time, to the league's leading hitters, but there was no award for fielding.
because the Silver Bat is given to the player in the league with the highest batting average, and I don't think its one per position. This doesn't seem anything like the Gold Glove award, which is subjective and is one per position.
Any thoughts please?

No need to omit, it simply shows that the award for batting average came first.
I think the main entry would benefit from some discussion of the often controversial and/or arbitrary nature of the Gold Glove awards. For example, Rafael Palmeiro winning the 1999 American League Gold Glove at first base even though he only played 28 games at the position during that season (he played 135 as the Designated Hitter). Some degree of research would be required to determine if this was the fewest number of starts for a past winner in the award's history, but it's certainly absurd considering a 162-game regular season. This is given a line in the main entry but is a big deal in baseball circles! http://www.baseball-reference.com/p/palmera01.shtml
In this year's American League awards Derek Jeter wins again as "best fielder" at shortstop despite committing twice as many errors (15) as Boston shortstop Alex Gonzalez (7) and despite sporting a lower fielding percentage (.975 to .985). Last year Torii Hunter won one in the American League outfield despite playing little over half a season (98 games). Oakland second baseman Mark Ellis this year had one of (if not the) the best fielding percentages in the history of baseball for a second baseman this year (.997) and was somehow overlooked.
Sound reasonable? Jimsurge74 21:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
It would be helpful to identify the criteria used to choose a Gold Glove recipient. You mention that coaches and fans can vote but you do not mention what that vote is based upon. What percentages are reviewed, errors, games played, etc? T.A. S. 66.82.9.75 11:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Better than Palmeiro in 1999, also Cabrera made over 20 errors in 2001 when he won his so we'll never really know what the votes are really based on Iamhungey ( talk) 14:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
There is an error in the lists I believe. Griffey Jr. and Suzuki both have 10 gold gloves, yet Willie Mays with 8 is highlighted to have the most. I don't know how to change this so someone should
Killervogel5 left me a message regarding some edits I'd made to the sublists by position (e.g. List of Gold Glove Award winners at shortstop, etc.).
Hi. I just wanted to note to you that I'm reverting your edits to the leads of these lists. The first paragraphs of these lists are what is known as "boilerplate text". These lists are going to eventually be part of a featured topic, and it's common for lists with a common theme or thread to start in the same way. For an example, see the Silver Slugger Award winners lists. If you have any questions, you can ask me at my talk page. Thanks.
Here's my response (on this page for discussion).
Top Latin Albums is a record chart published by Billboard magazine and is labeled as the most important music chart for Spanish language, full-length albums in the American music market. Like all Billboard album charts, the chart is based on sales. Nielsen SoundScan compiles the sales data from merchants representing more than 90 percent of the U.S. music retail market. The sample includes sales at music stores, the music departments of electronics and department stores, direct-to-consumer transactions, and Internet sales of physical albums or digital downloads. A limited array of verifiable sales from concert venues is also tabulated. [1] Before this chart, all Latin music information was featured on the Latin Pop Albums chart, which began in June 29, 1985, and is still running along with the Regional Mexican Albums chart. [2] The Latin Pop Albums chart features music only from the pop genre, while the Regional Mexican Albums chart includes information from different genres like duranguense, norteño, banda and mariachi.

To go with the DP combo table it might be interesting to know (if it's occured) if any batteries (Pitcher/Catcher) or complete outfields have ever won Gold Gloves in a year. Perhaps not notable enough for it's own table, but worth a sentence if it's ever happened. Staxringold talk contribs 16:08, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
was gong to update main article with info that as of this year, 2011, the outfield nominations have been separated into left, center and right field positions but there's no [edit] link?

I think the National League box should appear before the American League box because NL is older than AL.
Pitchers can earn Gold Gloves and Cy Young Awards. I would assume that the second is more prestigious than the first one. Does anybody have any comment in merit, in particular on what it takes to win one or the other?

The softball awards were removed as purportedly being WP:COATRACK. I don't agree and thought the talk page was a good place to resolve. My thoughts are as follows:
In short, I think this is the proper place for the softball gold gloves. If someone thinks that a separate article is appropriate for baseball and softball, then that would be the better approach than wholesale deletion. However, including the female awards for the female version of the male sport, to me, does not run against WP:COATRACK. RonSigPi ( talk) 20:03, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Could someone please add some clarification about players that plays in multiple positions within a season? Which position would he be nominated (most appearances at a position in a season vs. most effective position by least errors or most runs/bases saved)?

Rawlings Gold Glove Award → Gold Glove Award – Move per the WP:CONCISE policy. It is more often referred to without the sponsor name. There are 891 indirect links (redirects) to this page, versus 630 directly using "Rawlings". [1] Of those direct links, a lot are piped to "Gold Glove Award", inflating direct links when editors are compelled to go against MOS:NOPIPE. For an independent example, The Dickson Baseball Dictionary has its entry under plain "Gold Glove Award". [2] There are no ambiguity concerns, as no other distinct topics on WP have "Gold Glove" in their title. [3]
This page was moved in 2007 to include "Rawlings" with the rationale The Rawlings Gold Glove Award is a service mark registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office and is owned by Rawlings Sporting Goods. Rawlings is the sole sponsor.
[4] However,
WP:COMMONNAME policy as written today says Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title
