Probably the first of many. This is the first Gold Glove by a Dodgers catcher since Charles Johnson in 1998, but the Dodgers acquired Johnson midway through that season from Florida in the Mike Piazza trade. The last catcher to win a Gold Glove while playing the entire season with the Dodgers was John Roseboro in 1966.
Tony Jackson is in his fourth season covering the Dodgers for the Daily News, his eighth season as a full-time Major League Baseball beat writer and his 13th season covering MLB on regular basis. He is a native of Springdale, Ark., and a graduate of the University of Arkansas, although he refuses to root for the Razorbacks again until Frank Broyles is finally out of there. Tony is single and has a daughter who lives in Colorado. His hobbies include working out, reading and taking winter vacations with his daughter to non-MLB cities, usually in Mexico or the Caribbean. And he LIVES to blog.

Russell did a great job and is very deserving of this award. Hopefully the first of many in a dodger uniform.
