Yankees' Brett Gardner gets family out of Hurricane Florence danger

MINNEAPOLIS -- Yankees left fielder Brett Gardner wasn't going to let his family stay in harm's way.

So when school was canceled in his hometown of Holly Hill, S.C., on Wednesday, the 35-year-old immediately had his wife and two sons fly to New York -- and out of the way of Hurricane Florence.

"Nothing you can do about it," Gardner said, regarding the potential damage that could be done to his sprawling farm and home located in the northwest portion of Saint James Goose Creek Township in Berkeley County.
