Andruw Jones Gold Glove Award that was presented to him for his play in the field during the 2001 season. The award comes directly from Jones and includes a signed letter from the player verifying its authenticity. The plaque on the award reads, 2001 RAWLINGS GOLD GLOVE AWARD - Presented to ANDRUW JONES - Honoring His Selection as "THE FINEST IN THE FIELD." The award itself includes a gold-painted Rawlings glove and two gold-painted baseballs. A phenom from the start, Jones made his debut at 19 and became the youngest player to hit a home run during the 1996 World Series. He was soon being compared to other two-way center fielders like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays. Considered to be one of the greatest defensive outfielders of all-time, Jones won 10 straight Gold Glove awards from 1998 through 2007. Not just a great defender, Jones also boasted excellent power from the right side of the plate hitting 434 home runs over the course of his 17-year career. Gold Gloves do not hit the open market very often and this is a rare opportunity to own one of the awards.
