 | Continental Association Announces Diamond Defense Award Winners Sunday, October 21st , 1962 Making the play is the mark of great defenders. Spearing a liner, diving in the hole or crashing headlong into the wall makes no difference to these awe-inspiring fielders. Magicians they sometimes appear to be, showing up out of nowhere to rob a batter of a hit and to turn a hit into an out. Pitchers love 'em and batters curse 'em. These defensive wizards will collect their 1962 Continental Association Diamond Defense Awards tonight: Pitcher Arnie Smith (Toronto Wolves) Catcher Hal Kennedy (Cleveland Foresters) First Baseman Gene Case (Chicago Cougars) Second Baseman Buddy Byrd (Chicago Cougars) Third Baseman Walt Bantle (New York Imperials) Shortstop Carlos Jaramillo (San Francisco Sailors) Left Fielder John Kingsbury (San Francisco Sailors) Center Fielder Sid Cullen (Toronto Wolves) Right Fielder Edwin Hackberry (San Francisco Sailors) |   |
