The New York Yankees have a rising superstar in their mitts, with Brett Gardner. At first, I was hesitant to believe this 5’9 player had just hit some beginners luck at the start of the season.

Believe It Or Not The Yankees Secret Weapon
PLAYER PROFILE: BRETT GARDNER #11 CF, LF Standing just shy of 5’10, at first glance Brett Gradner does not look like much a weapon.
