Not sure if he has ever been referred to as “Flash” before, but let it be known that the Dude has officially bestowed that nickname on Yankees’ outfielder Brett Gardner.
As we are a third of the way through the current campaign Gardner has been a great boost to the team in left field. His play in the outfield has been excellent, as expected. But offensively he continues to amaze with an over .300 batting average, some bursts of power and speed on the bases that confuses and impedes the defense. It is sweet to watch someone do this when they are on your side!
So, “Flash” Gardner is the best surprise of the 2010 season to date. The Dude would enjoy hearing concurring or opposing views. Please feel free to comment Yankee fans.
