Andruw Jones was known as a fearsome hitter during his years with the Atlanta Braves, but he was as skilled with his glove as well as his bat. Patrolling center field for the Braves, Jones won 10 straight Gold Gloves from 1998-2007, awarded annually to the finest fielders at each position. Only two players, Roberto Clemente and Willie Mays, have won the award more often in the outfield.
This exceptional piece, Jones’s 2002 Rawlings Gold Glove Award, comes mounted with a Gold Rawlings right-handed glove, fronted by a gold-plate bearing the image of Andrew Jones. There are three golden bats on either side of the glove, both topped by a Gold Rawlings baseball. It also includes a plaque across the bottom that reads “2002 Rawlings Gold Glove Award, Presented to Andruw Jones, honoring his selection as ‘THE FINEST IN THE FIELD!” The item is accompanied by a letter of Authenticity, personally signed by Andruw Jones.
