Many years ago at Milwaukee County Stadium a talented duo roamed the dirt around second base. Robin Yount and Jim Gantner teamed up at shortstop and second base, respectively, for the first half of the 1980s.
Yount played at short from 1974-1984, but had to move out to ‘the corn’ in 1985 due to a right shoulder problem. He played nearly 1,500 games at short, winning a Gold Glove in 1982 and leading the league in range factor twice and fielding percentage once.
Gantner began as a Brewer in 1976 at the hot corner, moved to second in 1978 and established himself there until his retirement after the 1992 campaign.
