Whether it's running down balls in the outfield or turning a single into a double, Brett Gardner isn't shy about giving every play his all.
Brett Gardner hasn't always gotten the respect he deserves from fans of other teams or, at times, even Yankees fans themselves. The reasoning behind that may be that he was forced to play the corner outfield spot typically reserved for power bats when that was never quite his game. Now, though, Gardner is finally on everyone's radar. He's the third best position player on the Yankees in terms of fWAR so far this season, and his skill set at the top of the order is one of the reasons why the Yankees are in the fortuitous position of first place in the AL East.
