I agree that Gold Gloves are not a hard and fast measure of a fielder's prowess, but if by the age of 28, one guy has won 5 of them, and at the age of 30 the other guy hasn't won any, it's pretty safe to say that the 5GG guy is likely an elite fielder, and the other guy isn't.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
