Ian Happ is Golden!

 

Well, a little bit of a bright spot comes out of a pretty lousy season as last night Ian Happ was announced as the winner of the NL Gold Glove for left field.  He joins a pretty small group of other Cubs outfielders to win a Gold Glove, Andre Dawson, Bob Dernier, and Jason Heyward.

I've put together a list of all of the Cubs Gold Glove winners for each position.  The players are listed in alphabetical order.  The card I selected is their Topps card from the year they won the award, or the first year they won if they are a multiple winner.  The Bobby Shantz card is homemade, since there is no Topps card that shows his as a Cub.
