	Athletes - Mike Bordick

Michael Todd Bordick (born July 21, 1965 in Marquette, Michigan) is a former shortstop in Major League Baseball. He played from 1990 to 2003 with four different teams: the Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, New York Mets, and Toronto Blue Jays.

After attending the University of Maine (Black Bears), Mike signed as an amateur free agent with the Athletics on July 10, 1986. He saw his first action in the big leagues on April 11, 1990. In 1992, his first full year, he put up solid numbers including a .300 batting average and 12 stolen bases.

He showed occasional power at the plate which led to 20 home runs and a bid to the 2000 All-Star Game, but what made him really stand out over his 14-season career was his superb defensive ability and unparalleled work ethic.

2002 Gold Glove Controversy

In 2002, Mike went 110 games and 543 chances without an error, both records for a shortstop which still stand today. Suprisingly, the award went to Alex Rodriguez, who in 2002 had 10 errors. It is thought he won the award for being a better hitter.
