Brett Gardner spent his entire 14-year career in the Majors playing with the New York Yankees. He displayed impressive advanced metrics, exceptional plate discipline, and deceptive speed on the field. Gardner's role as a "glue" guy on the team made him an unsung hero to knowledgeable fans. He earned numerous accolades throughout his career, including an All-Star appearance in 2015, a Gold Glove in 2016, and a Wilson Defensive Player Award. However, his most prized achievement is his 2009 World Series Ring.

Fans of the Yankees were well aware of Gardner's talents and he amassed 1,470 Hits, 139 Home Runs, and 274 Stolen Bases with a bWAR over 40. It comes as no surprise that the Bronx team held onto him for the entirety of his career.
