October 30, 200322 yr I'm so happy that Bill Mueller won! San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds won his record 11th Silver Slugger award, given to the top offensive players at each position in both leagues. Three players on the Atlanta Braves were selected Wednesday: outfielder Gary Sheffield, catcher Javy Lopez and pitcher Mike Hampton. Texas shortstop Alex Rodriguez was chosen for the seventh time and Boston outfielder Manny Ramirez for the sixth time. Five first-time winners were announced by Hillerich & Bradsby Co., maker of Louisville Sluggers, including Boston third baseman Bill Mueller, the AL batting champion. St. Louis outfielder Albert Pujols, the NL batting champion, won for the second time. Other AL winners were Toronto first baseman Carlos Delgado, Seattle second baseman Bret Boone, Anaheim outfielder Garret Anderson, Toronto outfielder Vernon Wells, New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada and Seattle designated hitter Edgar Martinez. Other NL winners were Colorado first baseman Todd Helton, Montreal second baseman Jose Vidro, St. Louis shortstop Edgar Renteria and Florida third baseman Mike Lowell.
