ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Pitcher Kenny Rogers of Texas and teammate first baseman Mark Teixeira are among the 2005 winners of American League Gold Glove Awards.
Other winners announced Tuesday were Boston catcher Jason Varitek; Toronto second baseman Orlando Hudson; New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter; Oakland third baseman Eric Chavez; and outfielders Torii Hunter of Minnesota, Vernon Wells of Toronto and Ichiro Suzuki of Seattle.
The 40-year-old Rogers -- a free agent who is not being re-signed in Texas after two highly publicized run-ins with cameramen and a suspension during the season -- picked up his fourth Gold Glove. He is the oldest American League pitcher ever to win it.
Teixeira, who also hit 36 home runs and earned a Silver Slugger award this year, led all eligible AL first basemen with a .998 fielding percentage.
This is the 14th consecutive year the Rangers have had at least one player on the American League Gold Glove team.
