Human vacuum cleaner won 16 Hold Gloves, a record for nonpitchers.

Terrific at diving for a ball and then making a quick, off-balance throw.
3. GRAIG NETTLES
Had no weaknesses.
TODAY'S BEST THIRD BASEMEN
1. MATT WILLIAMS, GIANTS
Three-time Gold Glover may be better defensively than offensively.
2. KEN CAMINITI, PADRES
Makes spectacular diving slops and has rocket arm.
3. WADE BOGGS, YANKEES
Gets better with age; didn't win first Gold Glove until 36.
