Mike Francesa is a hard marker when it comes to Brett Gardner.
Francesa praised the popular former Yankees outfielder for his “hustle and determination [to become] an everyday player” during his latest BetRivers podcast. But then the WFAN legend handwaved a listener email asking how the team should handle Gardner’s legacy.
“I always liked Gardy,” Francesa said. “But Gardy doesn’t have a legacy. He wasn’t that type of player.”
Gardner spent 14 seasons with the Yankees. He won the World Series in 2019, was an All-Star in 2015 and received a Gold Glove in 2016.
