Sizemore snares second gold glove

Grady Sizemore won't need to find space for a second consecutive Gold Glove.
Actually, that's mom and dad's job.
Sizemore, the Indians' 26-year-old center fielder, earned a spot on the American League Rawlings Gold Glove team, announced Thursday. Voting was done at the end of the 2008 season, polling players and coaches.
Sizemore's Gold Glove from 2007 is at his parents' house, which is where Thursday's award is headed for the time being.
"I don't have a good display case here," he said about his Scottsdale (Ariz.) home. "It would just kind of sit in my closet. But my parents got it on display at their place, and it's looking pretty good.
"Hopefully they can make some more room."
Omar Vizquel (2000-01) was the last Indian to win consecutive Gold Gloves. Kenny Lofton (1995-96) was the last Cleveland outfielder to accomplish the feat.
Sizemore made only two errors in his 151 starts in center field.
His .995 fielding percentage (in 386 chances) was second best among AL center fielders.
