ALEX GORDON GAME GLOVE PROFESSIONAL

257 hitter with 190 home runs and 749 RBI. 209 with four home runs and 11 RBI in 50 games.

At the plate in his final season, Gordon hit. A former third baseman with the Huskers, Gordon found success with Kansas City not on the hot corner, but in shifting back to left field, where his athleticism and arm made him a perennial star defender for years, netting him an impressive eight Gold Gloves. Gordon spent his entire career with Royals, after being the second pick in the 2005 Major League Baseball draft. Gordon turned himself into one of the best defensive outfielders over the last decade before announcing his retirement. Gordon played third base at Nebraska and was drafted as a third baseman by the Royals before transitioning to the outfield after well-documented struggles early in his career with the franchise. Gordon announced his retirement in September after spending 14 years in Kansas City, and was named one of three finalists for the Rawlings Gold Glove for American League left fielders, along with Toronto’s Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and Houston’s Kyle Tucker. Gordon’s eight Gold Gloves tie the Kansas City Royals’ franchise record set by Frank White.
