Fun fact via Shannon Drayer today: The Seattle Mariners have won at least one Gold Glove for 23 straight seasons.
The Gold Glove is a pretty silly award, but that’s still impressive!
1987 – Mark Langston (P)
1988 – Mark Langston (P), Harold Reynolds (2B)
1989 – Harold Reynolds (2B)
1990 – Harold Reynolds (2B), Ken Griffey Jr. (OF)
1991 – Ken Griffey Jr. (OF)
1992 – Ken Griffey Jr. (OF)
1993 – Omar Vizquel (SS), Ken Griffey Jr. (OF)
1994 – Ken Griffey Jr. (OF)
1995 – Ken Griffey Jr. (OF)
1996 – Jay Buhner (OF), Ken Griffey Jr. (OF)
1997 – Ken Griffey Jr. (OF)
1998 – Ken Griffey Jr. (OF)
1999 – Ken Griffey Jr. (OF)
2000 – John Olerud (1B)
2001 – Mike Cameron (OF), Ichiro Suzuki (OF)
2002 – John Olerud (1B), Bret Boone (2B), Ichiro Suzuki (OF)
2003 – John Olerud (1B), Bret Boone (2B), Mike Cameron (OF), Ichiro Suzuki (OF)
2004 – Bret Boone (2B), Ichiro Suzuki (OF)

2007 – Adrian Beltre (3B), Ichiro Suzuki (OF)
2008 – Adrian Beltre (3B), Ichiro Suzuki (OF)
2009 – Ichiro Suzuki (OF)
Now, it would really be awesome if the Mariners could get a streak like this going for the Fielding Bible Awards. The streak currently stands at two (Fielding Bible Awards started in 2006, but Seattle was shutout in 2007):
2008 – Adrian Beltre (3B)
2009 – Jack Wilson (SS), Franklin Gutierrez (CF), Ichiro Suzuki (RF)
