While Brett Gardner won’t add a Gold Glove to his trophy case this offseason, it doesn’t mean the Yankees veteran is walking away empty handed.
Earlier this season, Gardner was the Yankees recipient of the Heart & Hustle Award, which embodies the values, spirit, and traditions of the game. As a result, Gardner was one of 30 nominees to receive the overall Heart & Hustle Award.
On Tuesday night, Gardner bested 29 other players for the MLB Heart & Hustle Award, making it his first overall win.
Gardner was on hand at the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association ‘Legends for Youth’ dinner in Manhattan on Tuesday night, where he thanked his father and wife for pushing him to be better on and off the field.
