Brice Turang’s Gold Glove brings two childhood heroes into one frame

Don Mattingly and Dave Winfield were Richard Brown’s baseball heroes when he was a kid. On Thursday afternoon at the MLB Flagship Store in Midtown Manhattan, the Stadium & Street president got a picture with both of them. Winfield sat on his right, Mattingly on his left. Brown had an arm around each.

The occasion was Brice Turang’s second National League Gold Glove at second base. Rawlings and the MLB Store billed the Milwaukee infielder as the special guest for their November 5 meet-and-greet on Avenue of the Americas. Mattingly and Winfield joined him, and former Dodgers first baseman Steve Garvey met fans there too.

Turang won his first Gold Glove in 2024. This time he came to New York as a World Series champion, with his No. 2 Brewers jersey hanging behind him. The four men had won 22 Gold Gloves between them. Mattingly won nine at first base, Winfield seven in the outfield and Garvey four at first.
