Gold Glove Winners: MLB Announces 2014 Award Recipients; Yadier Molina Wins 7th Straight

Kansas City Royals teammates Salvador Perez, Eric Hosmer and Alex Gordon all received their second consecutive Gold Glove on Tuesday night. But the story of the night was Yadier Molina - he received his seventh consecutive Gold Glove award to join Ivan Rodriguez and Johnny Bench as the only catchers to win seven in a row.

Each position winner is selected by managers and coaches throughout the league. The MLB introduced a sabermetric component last year to help out with the selection process, but it's still ways away from playing a role.
