Yummmm….Gold Glove Update

November 11th, 2009 by Jason Weisbecker

Yummmm….Gold Glove Update thumbnail

I happened to be visiting Philly this past weekend for the first time in a while. I decided before I left that it was extremely important for me to take what I call the Pats vs. Gino’s Challenge. So, a buddy and I went into South Philly and first stopped by Pats. After following the directions printed on the building, we ordered our “Philly Wiz Wit” and of course cheese fries. I was very pleased. Not wasting anytime we walked across the street to Gino’s and after the fifteen-minute wait, we ordered two more “Philly Wiz Wits.” Although, I thought it was good, in my eyes it did not match up to Pat’s. Maybe the difference was Pats pouring on the whiz and Gino’s just smearing a little on the bread. Whatever the case, Pats won my challenge and I had to get an angioplasty. Let me hear ya Philly!!!

As expected Phil’s Short Stop Jimmy Rollins took home his 3rd consecutive Gold Glove Award on Wednesday. Teammate Shane Victorino secured his second straight award for his stellar defensive play in center field. One of the biggest keys to a good baseball team is to be strong up the middle and the Phil’s are definitely that with Ruiz, Rollins, Utley and Victorino.

The Phil’s, Cardinals and Dodgers dominated the awards by winning two Gold Gloves each. The Nationals and Padres also had players win Awards. Here is the entire list of award winners: 

C: Yadier Molina

P: Adam Wainwright

1B: Adrian Gonzalez

2B: Orlando Hudson

SS: Jimmy Rollins

3B: Ryan Zimmerman

OF: Shane Victorino

    Congrats to J-Roll and Victorino. As for the Cheese Steaks, you sir are correct, it’s Pats. Ginos has the fancy ights, but for my money I will take Pats every time.

  2. Marshall Says:

    I love them both, but the line for Ginos is always longer than Pats so I go with Pats. Jim’s aint too bad either.

  3. Jersey Joe Says:

    Good call. Pat’s it is. You don’t go wrong with a Philly cheese state at all.
    The defense up the middle is th Phillies strong suit.
