It doesn't happen often.productsforparty Hardy earned a second straight Gold Glove Award last season after ranking first among shortstops in double plays, second in assists and third in putouts. Over the past two years he's made only 18 errors in 1,424 chances.The last Orioles shortstop to win two consecutive Gold Glove Awards was Cal Ripken Jr. (1991-92). Ripken appreciates the way Hardy plays the position."He does it without a lot of fanfare," Ripken said. "He does it consistently. He makes all of the plays and is in the right spot all the time. And it doesn't going to go unnoticed to me."Showalter can't help but notice, too.welcome to high quality MICHAEL KORS Grade Wallets sale,best service and low prices.Abercrombie Jewelry-AF10249"If you're not talking about it, you're not watching. But I think a lot of people don't talk about it because he's not flashy," the manager said. "He doesn't need to draw attention to himself by making something look harder than it is."Of course, everyone makes mistakes. Hardy, a two-time All-Star, just does so less often than most.Custom LOL Moscow Five pure cotton hoody 
"I have to remind myself that errors are part of the game because it bothers me. I still get really upset," he said. "It's a pride thing. I don't think I'll ever be OK with making an error."OK, it's obvious Hardy cares about how he performs with the glove. But what about his bat? He's hit 30, 22 and 25 home runs over his last three seasons and totaled 224 RBIs over that span."Defense is something I take a lot of pride in only because defense got me to the big leagues," Hardy said. "In '05 I wasn't much of a hitter, but they said if you can catch the ball and throw the ball, you'll play for us in the big leagues. That's what I did, and then I started to develop a little bit more, got a little bit stronger. I always take a lot of pride in defense, but it's about the same when it comes to offense."After breaking into the big leagues with Milwaukee in 2005, Hardy played five seasons with the Brewers before being dealt to Minnesota in 2009.Custom Rammus LOL awesome hat He was traded to the Orioles a year later and has found a home in Baltimore.
