Victorino Takes Pride In Gold Glove At Two Positions 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Oct 30, 2013 9:35 pm

Shane Victorino was announced as the Gold Glove winner for the American League in right field earlier this week in his first season with the Boston Red Sox.


Victorino won a Gold Glove as a center fielder with the Philadelphia Phillies in three-straight seasons (2008-10).


"I think it means a lot. More than anything I think the magnitude of moving to right field, the magnitude of playing in Fenway Park, this was a big surprise," Victorino said of winning a Gold Glove at a new position.


"In regards to not surprise, the fact that I won, a surprise more than anything for me was, everybody talked about -- I took it as a surprise about how everybody talked about how hard Fenway Park in right field was to play. I've always worked hard on my defense. And I've always taken pride in my defense."
