The Gold Glove award was introduced in 1957.

In the American League Bobby Shantz and Jim Kaat won 17 of the first 18 awarded to AL pitchers.

The lone year missed was 1961 when Frank Lary of the Tigers won it. Shantz had moved to the NL (where he won four more GG, including 1961). Kaat's streak started in 1962, which coincided with his first AS appearance.
