Absolutely one of the greatest injustices of all time! How could Ham only get 2 out of 3 outfield gold gloves? And no Ham pitcher played better defense than Wakui? Ridiculous!

Seven players on one team is actually the second most a team has ever fielded. Hakyu and Seibu both had 8 players selected for Golden Glove Awards in 1978 and 1992, respectively.
