Gardner's only good ML season came with the Yankees in 1972 (8-5, 3.06). He had a complex trade history. Originally sent to Oakland by the Yankees in April 1971 with Ron Klimkowski for Felipe Alou, he was reacquired by New York in May for Curt Blefary. The A's got him back after the 1972 season with Rich McKinney in return for Matty Alou and sold Gardner to Milwaukee in May 1973, but the deal was canceled and Gardner returned in July. (SFS)
