SEATTLE -- No team in Major League Baseball has had more Rawlings Gold Glove winners over the past two decades than the Seattle Mariners, and that trend continued Tuesday with the selection of outfielders Ichiro Suzuki and Franklin Gutierrez to the 2010 American League team.

Ichiro won his 10th consecutive Gold Glove and Gutierrez earned his first such honor, as announced by Rawlings Sporting Goods Company and MLB.

The Mariners have now had a least one Gold Glove winner for 24 straight seasons, easily the longest active streak in the Majors. The next-longest current streak is Minnesota with 10.

Since 1987, Seattle has now won 38 individual Gold Glove Awards. The Yankees have the second-most AL Gold Gloves in that 24-year period with 26. The St. Louis Cardinals have won 32 Gold Gloves since '87, with the 2010 National League winners still to be named on Wednesday.

Ichiro's run of 10 straight Gold Gloves from 2001-10 ties him for the Mariners' record set by Ken Griffey Jr. from 1990-99. Ichiro also won seven straight Gold Gloves in Japan for the Orix Blue Wave from 1994-2000.

Ichiro became just the 16th player in Major League history to win 10 Gold Gloves and the first to do so in his first 10 seasons.

Roberto Clemente and Willie Mays (12 each) are the only outfielders with more than 10.

Gutierrez is at the other end of the spectrum, winning his first Gold Glove after becoming the first Major League outfielder to post an error-less season with more than 400 total fielding chances.

Gutierrez, 27, was perfect in 415 opportunities in center field -- 413 putouts and two assists -- to break the old mark of 396 errorless chances by Curt Flood in 1966.

He has now played 190 straight games and handled 542 consecutive plays without an error over two seasons.

Ichiro posted a .989 fielding percentage with just four errors in 365 chances in right field, where he led the league in putouts, total chances and innings played while finishing third in fielding percentage and fourth in assists.

This was the 11th time in Mariners history the club earned multiple Gold Gloves in the same season and the fourth time that honor went to two outfielders. Ichiro and Mike Cameron both were selected in 2001 and '03, while Jay Buhner and Griffey doubled up in 1996.

The Mariners' streak of 24 straight seasons is obviously helped by the decade-long dominance of Griffey and now Ichiro. The one year between those two outfielders was bridged by a Gold Glove for first baseman John Olerud in 2000.

Seattle's streak began in 1987, when pitcher Mark Langston became the franchise's first winner and he and second baseman Harold Reynolds continued the trend up until Griffey took the baton in '90.

By comparison, the Twins have the next-longest AL streak with 10 straight Gold Glove Award winners in the wake of catcher Joe Mauer's selection on Tuesday. No other AL club has currently won more than four in a row.

The longest active streak in the NL is four by the Padres and Dodgers heading into Wednesday's announcement for the NL winners.

The Gold Gloves are voted on by managers and coaches in each league.
