Mike Mussina confirmed that much on Thursday, winning his seventh career Rawlings Gold Glove Award. Mussina bested every other American League pitcher to nab his first Gold Glove since 2003, his third with the Yankees, and his seventh overall since 1996. Now with more AL Gold Gloves than any pitcher other than Jim Kaat, who won 14 straight from 1962-75 and an additional two in the National League, Mussina has entered rarefied air among the top defensive pitchers in history. 虽然Mussina现在不确定是否会继续投下去，但是他现在的地位是不可否认的 这是他在洋基队的第三座金手套奖 自1996年来的第七座 他的地位在美联仅次於Jim Kaat的连续14座金手套 And the fact that Mussina won this year for the first time in half a decade seems fitting. This season marked something of a renaissance for Mussina, who posted his lowest ERA since 2001 and won 20 games for the first time in his career. 过去五年来没有拿下金手套的他，现在来的正是时候 今年也是自2001年来 ERA最低的一次 并且生涯首次单季20胜 "I was hoping that I'd be important to the club this year," Mussina said in August, after proving that importance time and again. "I was hoping I'd have a role like I've had in the past." 八月曾经说 "我本来期待我今年能对球队有重大的贡献" 之後又说 "我希望我能够扮演过去的角色" Mussina easily could have been referring to his role as a defensive asset, which he established in Baltimore last decade and carried with him to the Yankees. Mussina made just one error -- his first in three years -- in 200 1/3 innings this season, despite ranking 11th in the league with 42 total chances. His fielding percentage of .976 was sixth among pitchers with at least 200 innings, and more remarkably, he did it at the age of 39. Mussina以前在金莺时被公认防守机器 今年200.1局内 只发生过一次失误!! 这样的成绩只排在11美联名 (42次守备机会+) 不过fielding percentage .976是第6高的 (200ip+) 最重要的是 他已经39岁了 Mussina's award came one day after Greg Maddux, at age 42, won his record 18th Gold Glove Award in the NL. Among pitchers in both leagues, Mussina's seven Gold Gloves rank fifth in the 52-year-history of the award. 他在Maddux拿到金手套的隔天被公布 (Maddux在NL拿下18座) 从设立金手套奖到现在 Mussina 被排在第炊郎W The first Gold Gloves were awarded in 1957 to one player at each position from both leagues, then expanded the next year to include a lineup of nine players, one from each league. 1957年首次设立此奖 两个联盟 一个守备位置一个奖 隔年增设投手 The winners are selected by AL managers and coaches, who can't vote for their own players. Johan Santana won last year's AL Gold Glove for pitchers, then moved to the NL this season and lost out to Maddux. 此奖是由AL经理级教练 但是他们不能投给自己的球员 去年AL被Johan Santana拿下 不过今年换队之後赢不过Maddux Joining Mussina on the AL team was catcher Joe Mauer of the Twins, first baseman Carlos Pena of the Rays, second baseman Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox, third baseman Adrian Beltre of the Mariners, shortstop Michael Young of the Rangers and outfielders Torii Hunter of the Angels, Grady Sizemore of the Indians and Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners. Hunter and Suzuki each won their eighth straight awards, joining a Gold Glove team that included four first-time winners. And accolades, most will admit, are nice -- but they can't erase the uncertainty that has surrounded Mussina since last season ended. Mussina filed for free agency on Wednesday, and he has not yet informed the Yankees whether he will pitch next year. 星期三他申请FA 但是他还没告知洋基是否明年会继续头下去 Originally thought to be playing out the final contract of his career, Mussina opened the door for a return after enjoying one of his most successful seasons. He now stands merely 30 wins shy of 300 -- a number that traditionally begs Hall of Fame consideration, and that could entice him to return. 原本计画这是他生涯的最後一年 但是在经过这麽成功的一年 可能会动摇他的决定 现在只差30胜就达到300胜 - 进入名人堂的门槛之一 "I'm not sure what he is going to do," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said at season's end. "Whatever Mike Mussina does, he has had a wonderful career up until this point, and I believe that he is a Hall of Famer." Girardi说 我不确定他会怎麽决定 无论如何 他有个很好的生涯 我相信他会进名人堂的 "I don't know what the future holds," Mussina said after winning his 20th game of the season in his final start. "It could be my last year, it may not be my last year. When you get to your 18th season, it could always be your last season." 在赢得20胜的时候 他曾经说 "我不知道未来的情况会是怎如何，这也许是我最後一年， 当你已经投了18个球季之後，任何时後都有可能是你的最终年" But if he does return, it's a near certainty that he'll do so with his defensive prowess intact. Mussina has made just 11 errors over his past 11 seasons, and he certainly does not plan on making many more. 如果他回来的话 可以确定的是他会带着他的手套回来的 过去11年只发生过11次失误 "You make adjustments or they find someone else to get the job done -- it's that simple," Mussina said in July. "Fortunately, I've been able to make changes for quite a few years, and that's why I'm still out there." Mussina 在七月时曾说 "你可以随时做调整或是找其他人来代替你， 幸运的是，我可以自己做调整，这也就是为什麽我现在还在这里投球" --
