After putting up career numbers, Brett Gardner wants nothing but to continue being a New York Yankee. The 36-year-old veteran has more value than most people realize.
Other than being a role model in the clubhouse since he’s the only one with a World Series ring, Gardner just knows how to play the game. Since the Yankees have a predominately power-hitting lineup, it’s refreshing to see a quick lefty step up to the plate.
Despite putting up a career-high 28 home runs, Gardner will do anything to put the ball in play. His short level swing and his speed gets overlooked and is so valuable in today’s game.
